Up and at ‘em, breakfast, and off to the airport (about 50
minute away from the city). All this
hurry up and wait sometimes is frustrating, but it is what it is as my sister
says!
Arrived around 11ish to Cusco, rounded up the luggage and
headed to the city square for some lunch.
Caught the tail end of a festival which was fun and colorful. We’ve been fortunate that we’ve been pretty
much just eating the cultural food here.
Lots of new flavors and I love all the styles of corn. Big chunky kernel, tiny kernels, all good! Fish, Meat, Quinoa, again, new and
interesting versions. Thinking I like
this Peruvian food!
After our meal, we headed for our next stop. About 90 minutes through gorgeous countryside, mountains surrounding a gorgeous valley. Stopped for a great photo op with us alone and the group. We also stopped at an Alpaca/Lama Farm. Those guys are so cute... but big and sometimes, can be ornery! Especially to each other if one feels they are encroaching on their little area... SPITTING something atrocious!
Back in the van and headed to our next dwellings for the
following two days. Sol Y Luna… GORGEOUS
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS ! Yes I have to
capitalize and shout. It’s
beautiful. We have our own casita with
the mountains surrounding us. Gilmar
arranged for a cooking demonstration with the chef there… and a Pisco Sour
demonstration with the bartender… What fun and so good. Had small plates of everything that was
prepared. When all done, Gilmar
announces: “Now it’s time for dinner!”…
WHAT! Then another three course meal. We
skipped parts of that and didn’t finish the whole main dish. This is like being on a cruise ship. Finished up and headed for bed. Next day was a new adventure.
