Time to Leave the Village

---

There was a cold rain this morning and that meant coming to Internet Cafe to wait for sunshine. I see it now, but the trails are probably still soaking. Best use of time is to upload last photos of village before I take my leave and return to Cusco.
I suppose I should pay to see the official Inca ruins in Ollantaytambo this afternoon. Shame to spend all this time here and not do that T-shirt moment.

Photos

Humming Bird
Finally got that shot of the speedy bird in the fuccia.

Peasant labour
There is a portion of the village population who maintain traditional work in the fields

Passing through
When I snapped the photo the flash went off and the cow went running down the street. Oooops. Owner wasn´t too phased, he´d catch up with her later

Blues Bar
I was enjoying a cold beer at the Blues Bar. Great music, mixture of Amerindian and new age songs

Post Box
It hangs on a nail and goes inside the shop overnight. Geez, I hope those postcards get to Canada.

Flowers
Walking down towards the train station, nice flowers grow beside river.

End of the Road
A couple of shops and market stalls and the road ends at the train station.

Paved Road
Again, strangely for a few hundred metres out of village there is modern pavement and good infrastructure (near trains)

Wash out
And then the road returns to ancient cobble stones. At this point the rushing stream has washed away the side of the road.

Mountain Cows
Up on the slope there are a couple of brown dots that are cows. They must be a certain type of mountain cow to climb so high

Apples
They look like August apples...I am reminded that summer here is fading and soon I should move on....

Artsy Shot
Upstairs in Blues Bar there is a lounge dedicated to Bob Marley. His portait hangs there.

Revolutionary truck
I thought I´d see more of his face on things.

Butterfly
The Peruvian butterfly looked a bit more hairier than the ones home

Lunch
Chilean-style chicken soup, really tasty with big chunks of veggies. The potatoes taste better here.

Lucky
This little one came along and had the chicken bone in my soup, plus some meat, and potato.... for something so small, she was a fast eater

Bad Machine
This ATM did not give out the 700 soles as requested. My bank is still working on the problem

Six
Six in the morning and the clouds are low on the mountain. This is my last morning here...miss it already
