mountains, thermal baths and carne, oh my

So B, G and I piled in with Mindy and Andy into their 4x4 for a 1.5 hr drive to the mountains and thermal baths. As we got closer to the mountains, the sun grew hotter as the air got colder.

We passed a few mountain cowboys.









The sun was burning Andy´s driving arm and head, so he hid under some clothes. Asians aren´t common in this area, so imagine the stares we got from passing cars--4 Asian girls and a pink Scottish dude with a striped Urban Outfitters tee draped over his head.









Thermal baths running down snow-capped mountains









Boy and nature










Mindy and Andy´s friend Mauricio invited us all down to his cabin for hot tea. Ten minutes later, 7 or 8 more guys showed up with beer and party favors. They broke out huge slabs of beef and started up the wood-burning stove. ´Twas quite a feast.









We leave for Machu Picchu tomorrow. We´re also practicing our sun salutations.
