Our group's final session was painting Pucara bulls. We learned that people placed these on their rooftops or in their homes facing the front door. They are meant to protect the home. I painted my bull to resemble Peru's flag. This afternoon I ran a few errands and happened upon a few things that were fitting for the Fourth of July. In the afternoon, Rich, a fifth grade teacher from NYC, and I headed to the airport to head to Cusco. We were going to Machu Picchu in the morning. We arrived at the hotel by complimentary shuttle. We were staying at a fancy hotel. When I got to my room, I chuckled at the art above my bed. Corn is such an important part of Peruvian culture.
We went to the hotel restaurant and found ourselves listening to traditional music. We called it an early night. Our tour bus was picking us up at 4:30 a.m.
