By popular demand, I shall continue my writing about the free week (don't worry, nothing too exciting or crazy has happened here in Chile since then - just lots of class, homework, and I finished my humungous project I have been working on the whole time here - 17 pages!! IN SPANISH)
We of course took a trip to Machu Picchu - may have been my favorite day thus far in South America. I was a little stressed because the train ride was four hours each way to GET to the ruins, and according to our tickets we had just shy of 3 hours there. Plus we had to get tickets to the bus to GET up to the ruins, see them all, and you know how I get stressed about these things. Good thing Nolan was around to slap me around a little and tell me to chill (without the slapping of course).
We had plenty of time and found the ticket booth for the bus ride up, and we found a map right away when we got the ruins. Nolan navigated and I took most of the pictures - what an amazing sight. Even the 4 hour train ride there and back was awfully beautiful. We had the perfect amount of time to see everything we wanted to at the ruins, and then even had time to watch the football game - Germany vs. Spain?? I don't remember.
We didn't return to Cusco until about 9 or 9:30, and were STARVING. The train ride back had given us a little sushi snack (which shocked the two of us how much we like it), but we didn't have lunch and were famished. Lucky for us, we found a cute restaurant (looking over the plaza, view number 3) and had trout, alpaca, free wine, and stuffed hot peppers (I hope I didn't already write about this), and FREE wine!! The restaurants were so competitive for business that they would offer free drinks to those who came to their place. Good deal I'd say!
