The Mines and Maray

Well, i have been here now for about one week. It has been really amazing so far. When i walk through Cusco there are remains of the Incan Empire everywhere. The days after my last entry went very fast. I met the group that is here through pro-world and they are very nice. Most notably i met the family that i am staying with here in Peru. There is the parents who are in their mid 30's, and they have a daughter who is around 1 year old. She is very cute, and the parents are very very kind. The food continues to be great. There is a lot of rice, and a lot of chicken. I still look forward to eating Guinea Pig. We have traveled some visiting places such as Moray where the Incas planted crops at different elevations to conduct experiments. It is amazing how intelligent they were. After that we visited some salt mines where native people have been getting salt for thousands of years. No school has started and i am taking a spanish class, biodiversity of Peru, Contemporary Peruvian Society, The History of the Inca's, and Institutions of Peruvian Society. They are very interesting and i think the professors will be good.
