Sunday's Adventures

The top three photos are in Ollantaytambo which is forty eight miles northwest of Cusco. More farming terraces like in Tipon. Very cool!
The two bottom pictures are in Moray which is forty two miles northwest of Cusco. More farming terraces, but these terraces are believed to be an experimental farming center for the Inca. They planted different crops on the different levels during different times of the year.

      Thanks! Yeah, I was pretty excited to finally get to see some ruins! Another volunteer told me to get all these small ruins out of the way and save Machu Picchu for last. So that's what I'm doing. But these are still pretty amazing though! Glad you are enjoying the pictures! Love you too!

      I went by bus and taxi. Yeah, I went by myself because everyone has different schedules and I only had a certain amount of days to visit these sites with a tourist ticket. I was fine. Love you too!

      Thanks man! God has really been helping me get out of my comfort zone and just being myself! I've met so many cool people from all over the world! Definitely don't want to leave! I could totally live here! Going to miss all the kids at the elementary school too! Thanks for your prayers!
