On Thursday morning of the famiy trip ( i think nov 9) we headed up and up into the mountains to walk around Cumbemayo. It was a breathtaking place to see and we met some of the cutest kids here. With only a population of 20 families, we weren´t piled with cheap souviners, instead trade money, or in my case all the snacks i had, for photos of the local people there. Here didn´t seem to be the traditional "ruins" as in other places we visited, but massice rock formations, and much like watching clouds our guide pointed out different firgures in the rocks. There was a quite impressiva canal the Incan Channel which had been built by the former inhabitants, most likely for watering their crops. If you want the real story ask shawn´s mom she was by far the best listener on all our tours, the rest of us were like elementary school kids that just want to look and play reather than listen, but we had a lot of fun here. In the picture of Shawn with the little girl he is talking to here about the yarn she is spinning, all over the area of cajamarca you will see women with a big fluff of wool on a stick in one hand, and spinning it on to another stick in the other, it is really quite amazing, and even though this girl hadn´t perfected the art, it was stil great to see.
