Peru - Day 2 - Traveling.

After Ollantaytambo we went to Tunupa, a restaurant, and then traveled to Pisaq.

Tunupa was nice. There was a buffet with lots of things to try. I really like to try new foods, but I'll admit I stayed away from the olive mousse. Blech. Our meal started traditionally with a pisco sour. Pisco is the local liquor, and a pisco sour is made with pisco, lime juice, sugar, egg white, and a bitter on top. It tastes like a Mexican martini, or fairly close. We didn't get a good photo of pisco sour, so here's a link to view one.
The restaurant was located by the river there in the Sacred Valley, and we ate our dinner while listening to these men play their pan pipes. There was also a traditional lady there selling goods.

We liked these parrots, too.

After a filling meal we were back on the road traveling to Pisaq. I took many, many photos out of the window.


See the red "balloon?" This is a sign that the local beer is for sale there. It'll cost you 1 soles, or about thirty cents.

This was my favorite photo. I just love her red sweater against the monochromatic nature of the background.
