Today we left the Sol y Luna for Cusco. En route we visited the Pisaq market, where we were all given 10 Soles to get a White Elephant gift for our going away lunch tomorrow. It was pretty fun to go through the market and try to get deals. I got a backpack, Pat got a mask, Rachel got an Inka Cola shirt and Alex actually found a white elephant! I can’t wait to see what everyone else found. After Pisaq we went to an Alpaca / Llama farm and weaving coop. Everyone was able to feed and pet the animals. Once we were done there, we headed to Cusco for lunch and to check into our new hotel – Casa Andina. It is nice, but not as nice as the Sol y Luna.
This afternoon, Pat, Alex and Rachel went to a Cusco futbol game. Cusco won! They came back to the hotel thrilled to death. Yeah, Peruvian Soccer!
We’ve had a lot of fun getting to know our fellow travelers better. 2 of the moms are so much like me! They are very concerned with making sure their kids are “aware”. By that I guess I mean making sure the kids know what is real and what matters. Not electronics and not stuff. They too live in affluent areas, and feel a clash with the values of many of the people they live near. I love when I meet people like me!!! Helps me know I’m not totally “out there”. I can’t believe we leave for home in 2 days!
