Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 Day Tour of Sacred Valley and night out in Peru
We got into Cusco at 4 am and our guide brought us to a hostel. We slept for a few hours and woke up at 8 to go on our tour of the Sacred Valley. We had various stops:
First market place, ran into gringo friends from Washington University in St. Louis on same tour with different group, bought dad and Christian their alpaca sweaters
Market place- bought corn on the cob off the street= amazing! Peru shot glass
Pisac- ancient ruins, built in shape of a condor (big white bird, very important in Incan culture)
Ollantaytambo- ancient ruins built in shape of llama
Buffet lunch= yummy
Chinchero- colonial church, nick played soccer with the little kids, Natalie got pwned aka convinced by a group of kids to buy postcards
Fun ride back to Cusco, met up with group from Wash U for dinner
Found a deal for all 10 of us for a 3 course dinner with pisco sours for about $3 a piece
After dinner Nick, Chris, Natalie and I went to the Uptown, a bar advertising a free drink and salsa dancing, met Cliff, 6’3’’ guy from Fulton, MO and friend Jeremy. Chris and Natalie got sick of hearing about Missouri and decided to head back early but Nick and I hung out with our new friends. Had great conversation, danced, and after Nick and Cliff both got offered cocaine and Nick got solicited sex by a prostitute we decided to head back. It ended up being 5 am!
