This week was spent running through the rambling streets and alleys of the longest consistently inhabited city in all of South America. Highlights included many amazing meals, a visit to the black market, salsa lessons, and a thundering sunset.
Cobblestoned streets lead from plaza to plaza, while fountains and an interesting array of graffiti decorate the walls.
Mornings have frequently begun with a quick stop at a nearby bakery for a bit of pan de chocolate, followed by our last round of spanish lessons. It’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made since our first lessons back in Banos!
Tomorrow we embark on our week of student directed travel, for which we have elected to explore the Sacred Valley. Adventures will include ancient ruins, hot springs, and endless hiking.
