Domingo

                   Had a beautiful Sunday hike today with some friends. We took a bus for half an hour to Chincero where we then walked to Uruquillo. The hike itself was just under three hours (mostly downhill) and we celebrated the end with a little cerveza at a local tienda. Little did we know we would extend our trip an extra hour or so by getting a tour of the nicest hotel I’ve seen thus far in Peru or probably my whole life. The place was somewhat of an oasis as it was right in the middle of farmland and mountains. We all looked out of place in our dusty hiking clothes and boots walking around in this perfectly kept hotel equipped with two museums, spa, church and whatever else you can imagine. We caught two busses back to town and finished the day with a cinco soles meal of soup, meat and hot tea. The people I was with probably got tired of me saying how gorgeous it was outside and how much I love Peru and of course the usual, “we live a good life.”
