Day 17- July 12th



Hello from Lima! We had a busy day yesterday which began with an early departure from Ollantaytambo. After saying goodbye to all of our family members, we boarded the bus to Cusco. We arrived in Cusco around 9 a.m. and spent an hour exploring an artisanal market. From there we went to the Plaza de Armas, a historic main square, where we had free time to get lunch and explore. 
At 3:00 we headed to the airport. Once we arrived in Lima, we boarded yet another bus and hurried to Sra. Vera’s marinera exhibition – she did her makeup on the bus, which was very impressive! We arrived and watched a number couples dance before the grand finale, Sra. Vera and her partner Miguel. It was very interesting and exciting to experience a bit of this unique Peruvian culture. To conclude our day, we ate Pollo a la Brasa, a Peruvian specialty, for dinner on our way to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel, showered, and headed to bed for some much needed rest. We all slept in a bit and are now gearing up for an exciting day in Lima. -Delaney
