El domingo se pasó muy tranquilo... After a scenic bus ride past small pueblos and rivers that would be beautiful if not for the horrendous amounts of trash lining the sides, we arrived at a muddy street with no sign of much happening. We asked the locals where we could find a laguna, and they pointed us off in the right direction... We walked through misty rain past mud homes and locals doing their chores leisurely. We found the marshy banks of the laguna where cat tails were growing and women were knee deep in the murky water doing laundry. Eventually we came to an isolated but somewhat luxurious restaurant where we tasted the local specialties- duck and fresh trout. Later we meandered further along the lake, through small ruins, and past many farms. We passed a family harvesting their corn with giant kernels (choclo) and the mother called us over to give us each an ear of corn in yet another example of beautiful Peruvian generosity. We eventually found the small village of Lucre where we eased our aching muscles with a little home-made icecream and yogurt. It was still a long, but beautiful walk past marshes teaming with birds as we headed back to the main road to catch a bus. We flagged down our ride and made ourselves comfortable even though there were no more seats on the bus... then smiled as we left our small haven of serenity and headed back to the bustling town of Cusco...

Alright, alright, I guess it is about time I left a comment instead of just enjoying the blog from the sidelines. I am certainly envious of everything you two are doing and seeing. Although you are right Melissa, that was a totally excellent block :)
Anyhow, thanks for the updates and have fun! I will see you two when you return.

Melis, glad to see you have seen the light and drinking cervesa. The carribean and Mexico trips have had the same trash in really pretty areas, thats the norm unfortunately. Enjoy the blog. I'll save some PBR for you this June. Love Muy Grande D
In need of an update... donde estan?
It was on the newspaper when he saw the watch again. How time flies! 50 years had passed since he saw it the last time. He never stopped finding it during the 50 years. He was too old to remember too many things. However, everything about her was still engraved in his mind and never disappeared.[url=http://www.good4shopper.com/versace-watches.html]replica versace watches[/url] [url=http://www.luxucenter.com/]replica Louis Vuitton handbags[/url] [url=http://www.sunglassescool.com/louis-vuitton-sunglasses.html]Louis Vuitton sunglasses[/url] It values at $235,000. The Italian luxury watch brand Panerai was acquired by Richemont in 1997. Its watches are always in the chic and vogue styles that most Hollywood stars are fond of them. In the 2010 Watch Fair in Geneva, they launched this kind of commemorative watches Galileo above. The dial can display the time of sunrise and sunset time of the city.
