Yesterday Meryl and I hiked to a lake at 14,500 feet called Laguna Churup. It was very beautiful and was the highest i had even been with my feet on the ground. We leave Huaraz tonight on a night bus bound for Lima. We then catch a plane to Cuzco, Peru. On the 15th we will start hiking the Inca Trail, ending up at Maccu Piccu.
We gringos were invited to play a game of futball with the local children. They won. But we put up a good fight on the rocky-dirt field with a near flat soccer ball. The local kids laughed at us when they stole the ball or kicked it through our long legs.
Meryl and I walked up to some pre-Incan ruins from about 500 to 700 years ago called Wilkauan. We almost got bitten by a number of dogs as we walked down the street. A little nerve racking, but we are getting use to carring rocks and yelling at the mutts.
mayby if they started eating dogs instead of guinie pigs.....
