How many laws can you break in a day?

Today we started off by getting up at 8:00 to eat breakfast then catch a bus to the horse riding place. The first law of many we broke today was 4 people in the backseat where only 3 can legally sit. Then after about a 5 minute ride up the hill, we broke yet another law by climbing under barbed wire. After a 3 minute walk to the farm we saw all of the horses and we're ready to ride. 

We each recived a horse, and started riding away. These horses are not calm they are skittish and extreamly forceful. We took our horses about an hour uphill, we reached Tambomachay and Puka Pukara. Basically they are two Inca ruins that aren't quite as big as Machu Picchu, but are very amazing to see what they did. 

We got back on our horses and headed to Sacsayhuamán (which for some weird reason the tourists pronounce sexy woman). Anyways this was the biggest of the three ruins we saw today, it was a spectacular view of the city, and was built to perfection. Some of the stones in Sacsayhuamán weigh almost 361 tons (just to give you an idea a car weighs about 1 ton). These stones were moved with just hands and rope but not mechanical items. 

Lastly we said goodbye to our horses and headed to our next destination the Jesus on the mountain. It is like a smaller version of the Jesus in Rio Grande.  There were lost of tourists next to the Jesus but to tell you the truth it wasn't that exciting. If you ever go to Peru I would strongly suggest not eating your breath to see this. Go to Rio Grande instead! 

For a late lunch early dinner we headed to the doner were we are last night. I had a olive gyro in a pita, and Rilet just had a plain gyro, and sad had a mushroom gyro. It was just as good as it was last night!!

After our late dinner early lunch we headed to a massage (again) same price as last time too with a little bargaining of course. We figured out that they tell you a certain price on the seat to get you into the shop, then someone else comes in and pretends that the other ladie did not know what she was talking about. It was very relaxing.


I miss you all,
