On Sunday we journeyed by way of rickety old bus to the market at Pisaq. We found some wonderful hats wich featured Llamas and even experimented with some local cuisine...Coy, or in English, Guinnea Pig. I had a pet gp growing up, so while the experience was a little traumatic, it was rather tasty! The cute, fury, still living pets next to the giant wood burning stove almost kept us from enjoying the meal though.
Monday we traveled by car through the Sacred Valley to Ollaytatambo, where we caught a train to Machu (Old) Picchu (Mountain). Which brings us to our experience today (Tuesday) which was quite incredible. We expected this knowing it was one of the 7 marvels of the modern world, but pictures don't quite do the experience justice. After waking up before the sun, we spent about 6 hours wandering the ancient ruins. We did a little evesdropping on some of the guides (we didn't know how to hire one), but mostly just trekked on our own path. After a day of heavy rain yesterday, the weather was perfect and even a little too warm at times. We probably took 200 pictures, so we might remember it. Back to Cusco tonight for Halloween tomorrow.

Just got a look at your blog after not visiting in a few days. It sounds like you are having many great experiences. Life goes on here as normal. Buckeyes 8-0. Packers 6-1. Becky and David got to go to the packer- Broncos game. Dad was in Mexico for a couple of days this week. Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy what you eat.
Luv ya Mom
