a couple photos

One of the walls of the Puma Marka ruins. The Inca were a big fan of these kind of window things that don´t go all the way through the wall. More of cubby holes I guess.

















Some terraces. The whole valley is full full full of terraces like this for planting. Some have been renovated and are being used again for growing crops but for some reason the national cultural administration or whatever the name of the people in charge is has decided that this should not be allowed. Which is silly because it´s a great way to grow crops and when they´ve been rennovated, they will last that much longer. As it is, they are just falling down and pretty soon will not even look like terraces.



Some of the puppet show. I just particularly love this man walking in front. He looks kind of like a puppet to me.











This is Mauricio - the five year old I live with. He was taking me to some of the ruins. His dad is a guide so he loves to take me out practicing. It´s super fun and we have a great time together. I think we´re going out again this afternoon.










I took a long walk the other day to a place called Cachacata and this is one of the views along my walk. The glacier is called Veronica.
