Last weekend we went to Pisac. I woke up when the sun was rising over the mountains, there were a few clouds in the sky. In a few hours my parents woke up. We got ready to leave and walked down stairs, to pick up the peruvien girl, Mel, who was coming with us, then walked down the hill to the Plaza San Blas. We caught a taxi and went to where the taxi colectevos to Pisac were. A taxi collectivo is like a mini bus that takes you strait to your destination. We went over the mountains in in to the sacred valley, you could see three huge snow capped mountains on the way there. In about an hour we arrived in Pisac. After the collectivo dropped us off, we we went to the market and had lunch. From the upstairs balcony of the restaraunt I could see the sun shining on the mountains, a waterfall flowing down, and the inka farming terraces. After lunch, we took a taxi up into the mountains to the ruins. The ruins were up on a mountain with valleys on each side. The ruins made me feel like I was back in time with the Inkas. In the ruins there were tons of rooms, and tight staircases, I got lost in the houses for a few minutes I was looking all over for my parents finally they found me. At like 2:00, we hiked down on the side of the mountain for a few miles. Every few minutes we passed some ruins, the ruins were all shapes and sizes, some were like castle turrets, some were big wide rooms, and some were dirt straw roofed houses. Finally as the sun was starting to set, we made it back to Pisac. We got ice cream, and caught the collectivo back. I was so tired, on the way back I almost fell to sleep. I liked Pisac a ton.
