Another Catch Up!

After M.P. we stayed one more night in Aguas Calientes. In the morning we went to the hot springs and it was really nice! After this we caught some lunch in the plaza and headed to the train station, where we caught our train back to Ollantaytombo. We all had a nice nap on the train ride.

When we got to Ollantaytombo, we caught a cab to Urubamba where we toured the city plaza and got some coffee to go. Urubamba is very cool and a very nice place. We checked out the ceramic shop next to the cafe and they had some really awesome stuff! Georgia got some really cool handmade espresso mugs with plates to go under them. They were very original and so sweet!

We didn't have much time here and we then took the cab back to Cuzco. Our driver was nuts and was driving like a racecar up the mountain. My stomach was in knots by the time we got to Cuzco and I was not excited for dinner. We got back at about 6:30 AM and then went to meet Greg and Kay in the Plaza de Armas for supper. After we said goodbye to them, I got sick again and we came back to the hotel and I threw up. However, afterward I felt way better and slept so good last night!

When I woke up this morning, I thought we had slept in, but it was still 8 AM. We got up and had eggs for breakfast, it was very delicious. Afterwards we chilled in the room until about 11:30 AM and then we ventured to the chocolate museum. We learned all about cacao and the history of it. It was so interesting and they even had cooking classes where you could go through the entire process from tree to chocolate. We didn't do that, but it we did try some that they had made there.

After we explored some more of Cuzco, got some very yummy lunch and then went shopping for the rest of the afternoon!!! We bought lots of Peruvian things and it was awesome! Tonight in our hotel we met up with our Venezuelan friend, Pablo, that we met at the top of Mount Machu Picchu. We have been reminiscing with him for a long time now and it has been fun. But we better go get something to eat and then head to bed! Tomorrow we plan on exploring Cuzco a little more, but I will for sure be sleeping in!
