Incallajta!
Me and Crister at Incallajta!
Rest of Day 5:
-After the internet cafe I had dinner
-Dinner: Hot dogs and mashed potatos with some Coke and Fanta (yum!)
-After dinner Becky and I went for a walk with our host partents. They laughed at us a little because we were really cold and before they told us to wear a sweater but we said we were fine.
-Everyone went ot the "fiest" for a little which was fun
-Bed
Day 6:
-Woke up early at 6:15 beacuse we were going to Incallajta which is a city with old Inca ruins. The ruins the second largest compared to Machu Picchu. The city contained 3,000 people.
-Took a shower (the focet kept shocking me whenever I would turn it! OUCH!!!)
-Quick breakfast: bread, jam and tea
-3 hour bus ride to Incallajta
-After winding up small roads and going past rural farms we finally made it to Incallajta. When we got there we had some of the lunch our host mom packed us. Charo, my mom, packed me 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, apple, banana, orange and some bread along with a huge thing of water. While eating we met this cute little local girl in old dirty clothes. She also had cute little pigtails. We shared some food with her
-We set off for the trail: the ruins were amazing! The city of ruins was so spread out. There were different sections of the city for weaving, agriculture, the princesses, warriors, and astronomers. It was very interesting. There was also a very pretty waterfall that we sat by to eat the rest of our lunch.
-Once the trail was over we had a class on Ancient Andes, Modern Andes. We discussed the packet we read on the lifestyles of the Incas.
-Got back on the bus! 3 hour bus ride back. The view was gorgeous because the sun was setting. The ride went by really quickly. We played some fun games and listened to music.
-We tried stopping for empenadas but failed. The place didn´t have any!! Que loca.
-Dinner: my favorite....Arroz con carne!!! It is basically like fried rice. It was sooo good.
-After dinner Becky and I played with our host sisters. They are so cute. They finally warmed up to us. Some friends ended up coming over and we all played with my sisters. We pretty much had the whole group at my house: Fiesta!
-We went to the park across the street but then decided we wanted some ice cream so started walking towards the city. It was fun to see the Cochabamba nightlife! We went by some discotecas that looked really funny. We didn´t got though... we got ice cream and walked back home.
-Becky and I chilled at the park for a little then went to bed!
