Pisac - Secret Valley

UPDATE: Pisac pictures are in our gallery and we added some additional things to the post below.

Finally we have made it out of Cusco - on Sunday we made to the famour market in Pisac. On the picture you can see one of the guinea pig restaurants with a little garden for guinea pigs we found - pick you guinea pig and enjoy your food :) - it is kind of just like picking your fish in Chinease restaurant.

It was kind of tough to get there since the buses were full but after waiting for 45 minutes we finally made it on the bus. The way back was tougher - we did not make it on the bus as they resembled the buses in India in terms of how many people can fit in. Perhaps we would have tried if it wasn't for the fact that those overloaded buses drive through high mountain roads - I would not say we trusted their brakes...

Anyway Pisac as such is beautiful and we went on a shopping spree, haggling tough and ending up with lots of Peruvian clothing. Now we are totally local. It was a great thing to get out of Cusco though considering how long we have been here it is strange when we talk to travellers and admit that we have been here for three weeks and have not seen 10% of what they have in two days - we still have those two days to catch up though :))

As to our kids - one afternoon I went to the dentist with a girl but she panicked so much that in the end it was impossible to pull out her tooth...and her teeth are so bad that she constantly gets fever because of them. I kind of did not know what to do to make her relax a bit...That was kind of a failure...anyway still three teeth to go in her case - I will have some chance to make up for it.
Nowadays we also have weekly meetings in our center with the teachers were we put together the teaching plan for the next week and go through the happenings of the previous week. Above Jessica our Huancaro school teacher with her own little kid - that's how she carries him...

We are very glad for the donations we have received so far...Thank you VERY MUCH...and we are still waiting for more - even very small amounts can make a great difference so go ahead and donate...

By the way - a couple of days ago I got to know that there are some professional photos of me on the Internet - so here comes a photo of the male part of my family taken by our friend Kaktus (thanks!) Navigate to "portfolio" and then "people stills" - check the family portraits :)
