7/18 - Thu
-up at 6:45 to have breakfast and get gear ready for our hike and car tour.
Yummy breakfast of quinoa cereal, elderberry jam, platanos, eggs, hot cocoa and more
-met Darwin and Jorge at 8:30 and headed out on our hour plus drive to Pisac. Very cool ruins here and very crowded at the main site. Happily Darwin does not like crowds and took us on a hike out and around. Taught us about nobility, mummies, sun dials and more. Met up with Jorge and the bus a bit after noon
-got caught in festival traffic, so we jumped out and walked through the festival. Very colorful. The market was half empty and half closed which was fine. Laura bought a beanie and we ate some empanadas.
-Turns out the restaurant where we were supposed to have lunch was closed, so we stopped for some roasted guinea pig on our way home. Not our favorite, but good to try.
-good chat with Darwin on the way back to our hotel where we chilled for a bit. Was getting late, so headed out for a very late lunch at 4:15. Went back to Puka Rumi got out just at dusk and in time to make it back to the hotel before it got very dark
-played cards by the fire and then to bed to meet with Darwin again at 8:30
