Tim's 8th Birthday and Weekend in Pisac

We spent this past weekend in the nearby village of Pisac to celebrate Tim's 8th birthday. Here are some pictures from our trip...

Family shot over Cusco on our way out of the city.


Lupe's son, Farik, joined us on our trip. Ben and Farik at the hotel bar.
Ben's not sure what to get. Hmmm...apple juice or Sprite?

The boys at the hotel pool. Farik had never seen a pool, let alone been in one. It took him a while to build up the courage to put his feet in, but once he did, he loved it. The rest of the day he kept asking, "Podemos volver a la piscina por favor?" ("Can we please go back to the pool?").

Lunch at the hotel restaurant.

Walking into town from our hotel.

Tim and Ben in the market with Quechua women in traditional garb.

Rick and Ben looking at the Incan (Pisac) ruins.

Back home for birthday cake and ice cream.

We'll never forget Tim's 8th birthday!
