Jon and Nathan took a trip to Abancay to get special papers needed for our van. The trip is about four hours away with three hours of dirt roads. At times we were in the clouds.
You begin seeing the town of Abancay on top of the mountain but it takes two and half hours to get down the mountain with the curvy roads.
If you look really close you can see a Coca-cola semi truck in the distant road.
Once we arrived in Abancay, we submitted our papers and were told they would not be available for two days. We decided to get a bite to eat at a restaurant which had a fun playground before taking the time to travel into Cusco.
Jon ordered a chicken cordon bleu plate which looked and tasted good until he lost his appetite when noticing an inch worm crawling in his salad. The chef came out and apologized as Jon and Nathan got a chance to talk to the workers.
This hotel is one of the few hotels with an outdoor swimming pool. We drove by it and saw people staring at it peculiarly. We stopped and noticed that a semi truck came around the corner and had lost control. It broke through the cement wall, went down the hill and hit the swimming pool putting it out of commission. Thankfully nobody was swimming at the time or got hurt in the accident.
Nathan set up the DVD player in a furniture store while waiting for the time to submit our papers.
Jon and Nathan had the choice of continuing to wait for the van papers by getting a hotel in Abancay or sleeping in the van and using the money to travel to Cusco. We chose to sleep in the van in order to visit Cusco.
Cusco has one and probably the only McDonald's that is in the mountains. Later I found that this was the only reason why Nathan wanted to visit Cusco.
We came face to face with llama's and alpaca's.
Missionary Ken Loveall took us to visit a village who wanted to borrow a cement machine to build a church in their village. This village continues to take pride in their traditional clothing daily.
Nathan enjoyed playing with the macaws that he saw on the trip
We were able to see beautiful scenery.
