Our excursions today took us to Pisac and their market. It was wonderful and I got to use my great skill of bargaining. On Saturdays and Sundays it also includes fruits and vegetables. Today it was Alpaca sweaters, scarves, t-shirts, jewelry, key chains, etc. Many photo opportunities!
Next we traveled to have a Peruvian buffet lunch with musical entertainment. Ollantaytambo was our last stop where we opted to visit a traditional home instead of hiking up to the fortress ruins. The family raises guinea pigs for food (40 of them so far). Yes I said for food. They roast them. GROSS!!!!!! A picture for you.
Tomorrow to one of the highlights of the trip - Machu Picchu. And it we were told that the Picchu is pronounced "pik chu.". If you don't say it that way you are saying (old male part [I won't say the word here-I might be censored], but the correct way means old mountain. 4:30 is going to come really early! Ugh!!! Afterwards we head to Cusco.
