Day 8
SAYING GOODBYE TO AGUAS CALIENTES

Today we leave Aguas Calientes and head to The Sacred Valley. We will always think foundly upon this wonderful little town and its people. Here are a couple of stories to tell you a bit about the residents of this town:
Yesterday as we walked back to the hotel Bryce dropped his ice cream. In tears, Bryce and I sat down on a rock to wait while Rich ran back to get more ice cream. Many people passed us, all with concerned looks. Then Pablo (the guy who first met us at the train) came running down the street. "What happened?! " he exclaimed. "The ladies in town told me my people were in trouble". I guess gossip spreads fast in a small town!
Then yesterday as Rich and I walked up and down the streets, lost, another man came running up to us "Its Ok" he said. "Go this way." We thought he was trying to sell us something and did the standard "no, no gracias". "No, no" he said. "You are in room 8. Your hotel is this way."
Here, everyone knows you and everyone wants to help.

OK, I have a request, can you add the itinerary and a link to a map? Just kidding!
No falling too in love with these places, you need to come home sometime!

It was a good day for democracy in the states yesterday! Maybe you will come home to a better country.

XOXOXO

PS Rumsfeld resigned... too much democracy. As Americans over seas you might want to know.

Hi Heralds,

Sounds like Aguas C. is a great little town. Too bad it looks like we'll only get one night there.

The weather in your photo looks very much like Portland right now. Everyone has a raincoat on.

Give a big kiss to Bryce for me.

Where are you off to next??

Love,
Carrie

Bet,
At first I was getting an email when you updated, but that's not working anymore. Do you have the "webping" activated?
