Overall, we had a fun week!
I got food poisoning, not so fun, and it made us miss horseback riding
But other than that we did some cool stuff!
This post maybe picture overload, but believe me I hard a really hard time picking which ones to post!
Billy and I eat anywhere they will play the NBA finals
Which means on game nights, we eat at pubs and bars
which is a nice change from Peruvian food
We hiked up and side street from the main Plaza De Armas
It had some really cool views and we finally saw some green
Sachsayhuaman,
the Inca fortress that the Spanish couldn't conquer
The stones they used are huge and cut perfectly (just like Billy! He's cut)
The View from Sachsayhuaman was awesome, finally got some good pictures that show the city
This man randomly stopped Billy, then talked to him for a good half hour on his philosophies of travel and life.
Besos de Moza - the best cookie/treat ever
Its a soft cookie, with a marshmellowy/meringue blob, covered in chocolate
These were the only things that sounded good the day I got sick
(no matter how touristy the restaurant, don't eat the lettuce)
Later on in the week we took a bus to Puca Pukara and Tambomachy
We took the local bus which cost us 15 cents each
But was packed like sardines, it was actually very fun/funny
Sweet Billy stood for a lot of the ride
This is Tambomachy, the resort town of the Incas
Finishing the hike
It was a great week. Now we are in Lima for a couple of days before heading out to Piura. Things are about to get very busy and we're really excited to work in the communities!
Eliot isn't here with us, but we wish he was.
