3/29 Change of plans last night... no guinnea pig. Instead we went to a cultural center to watch some native dancing. Beautiful costumes and dancing. See pics.
After dinner we had a quicker local meal. Boy oh boy were we all tired. Off to bed we went. You should see our room. Can't open the door without hitting the bed, but the bed is really comfy. So if given the choice, extra room not so important since we hardly spend any time there.
Today we,really didn't do much. Some logistical-get ready for the trek stuff. We sat in the plaza and watched the world go by. We checked out a couple of amazing churches and saw the Good Friday processional. Amazing, people throwing rose pedals on the "casket with Jesus in it" float, a band, and thousands of people walking along saying the rosary. At the end was an enormous float of Mary with tears and her heart was "bleeding". I have never heard of a religious parade in the USA. The priest walks along and so do some nuns. Very emotional.
Dinner was bar b que alpacca for all but B. He tried the guinnea pig. When it came it looked like a char broiled rat, head and all. He ate the whole skinny thing. Not very much meat and it tasted a little gamey. YUCK!
We are now back at the B &B, making plans for after the trek. We may be splitting up. T and I want to go to Lake Titicacca, B and G are not sure. I made a reservation for a nice hotel there. One mile from the lake and some well deserved luxury (especially after the 5 days on the trail). After 2 nights we plan on flying to either Lima or a small fishing village 65km south of Lima. Not sure yet. The last 3 or 4 days will be relaxing on the beach before we head home.
