A long night.

              Waking up and and eating breakfast, we took a taxi to our first destination, Chincheros. There we walked around the terraces, visited the church, and looked at the shops. Then we got back into the taxi to go to Moray Salt Mines. It was really cool! Salt lakes, and streams, and just plain old piles of salt filled the bottom of the mountain. Some say it's gross, but I went around eating handfuls of salt at a time. They even had little flakes of salt, that felt as delicate a a snowflake. People were there harvesting the salt to sell. The markets upon the mountain's edge sold a lot of salt included things. Like bath salt, and salts mixed with spices such as garlic and rosemary.

                 After that we went to Maras. There was nothing much to see there, we just wanted to take a short break. But, hold up! Maybe it was important, because that's the place we got popsicles and popcorn. Once again, we're so healthy. Oh, and I forgot to mention that we got popcorn, and popcorn seeds at Moray too. We were just a popcorn family today. 

                  Our last stop was, well, it didn't really have a name. But they're circular terraces used by the Inkas. The Inkas used it to predict what climate was best to plant different types of crops. Scientists still marvel at this lonely but unforgettable method. Mom and Tara were too lazy to walk all the way around, but dad and I did. We went back to our hotel, got our bags, and took another taxi to the airport. Now we're sitting, waiting for our plane, to Ecuador. Tonight will be awful. Our plane leaves at 10:00pm, and gets to our place at 3:15am. So excited! Not. To make it worse, we have to take one a hour taxi to our hotel. You're so lucky. I bet everybody is sleeping right now while I am awake. Well once you read this you'll be awake, but, you know. 

( Sigh. ) Life.

           These are the salt mines! ;)
