Pisaq to Cusco to Aguas Calientes

---

Sitting in the cafe after a buenisimo dinner in Aguas Calientes and an afternoon at Machu Pichu.
We left Pisaq after spending 6 days with a group of 13 people coming together very closely in ceremony at Ayahuasca -Wasi / Melissa Wasi (checkout their website if you want to expand your mind and heart with an ancient plant medicina) . We did three nights of ayahuasca ceremony and the rest of the time we integrated our teachings, meditated, played music, and toured the countryside.

We went to amazing places like Moray, where Inca peoples experimented with crops by creating a huge tiered pit in the ground making different microenvironments. A very
Went to the highest weaving village in the sacred valley to buy wares and watch the weavers. We took crayons. paper, jump ropes, balls and balloons to share with the children. a very cool place with lovely people.

Went to an orphanage that is run by a Colorado ex patriot and his wife who started this project 10 years ago. What an amazing place filled with laughter and god food grown organically at their farm

We went to Salinas to see the salt making ponds. hundreds of evaporative ponds worked by the same families for centuries.. 95% salt content in a warm river that comes into the valley from underground.

BAck to Cusco and after saying good bye to Diego and Milagros Palma and all our new family. Some of us are staying at the Rumi Punku nin the San Blas district. A very beautiful place with great services and people and location.
Took the 7am train to Aguas Calientes, got on the bus and went up to the mind blowing Inca Ruins of Machu Pichu... CAn not express the amazing feeling and technology of this place... never mind the location. We go back tomorrow for a whole day ofhiking and painting...
We are meeting amazing people and having an amazing time in this glorous country ( i do not recommend our hotel her though. Andina luxury hotel is new but no internet, hot tea, box lunch availablility right over the train tracks and very expensive)

Despite not getting hardly any sleep, and being emotionally exhausted, having a hell of a good time!!
