Horses!

So I will finish talking about yesterday first.. it wasnt too entertaining, I went back to the market after I left the internet cafe and bought a few more things... hahaha I just can´t stay away. Then we went to the hotel to meet up with the group. Then we went to try to go to some Andean dance thing but we got there too late and it was full, so we are going to go back tonight. Then we ate dinner last night, I had a sandwich with basically everything on it, eggs, bacon, ham, chicken, cheese, and then french fries. The french fries arent good here.. they are more plain but they have SO much grease on them, its weird. But I like the ketchup better here, it is sweeter.

So today we woke up and met at 8 to go to ruins and ride the horses! I thought we were riding for 3 hours but it was like 1 hour. First we went to some ruins, I dont remember how to say the name but the translation to english was ¨sexy women¨. I dont really know why.. but the ruins were cool and from there we could see the entire city of Cusco. Then we walked to where the horses were.. I rode a horse named Bandido, which means bandit. We basically didnt really get any instruction but all the horses kind of just followed each other, it was like a trail on a mountain kind of, and the view was awesome! We rode the horses to some other ruins (I dont even remember the name of and then we walked to these other ruin type things where there was ä ¨fountain of youth¨or something.. but it had water and supposedly if you drank it, it was supposed to keep your youth better. So after those ruins we went back to the horses and rode to where we started. I got Bandit to run a little bit.. it was fun :) but I wish we could have rode them more. Bandit got bit twice by other horses.. I think they got made when we tried to pass them and stuff. It was scary I was afraid the horses were going to bite me! Haha. After we rode the horses we went to a restaurant and had fried trout, rice, and potatoes. The trout was good but it was really really fried. Reminded me of America. haha. So now we are at the internet cafe and we are meeting the group at 5, then going to the Andean dance thing, then dinner. Can´t wait for the hike on Saturday! We have been here for a week but it seems like forever because we have done so much stuff. Oh, we got a new bus and bus driver and this one drives really slow and boring, unlike the other ones who were insane. So its kind of not fun anymore but now I am not afraid of dying! I am going to do another post after this and try to add pictures.
