Day 5- Concert at Casa Saywa

We spent the morning relaxing at Casa Saywa, well everyone relaxed except for Pepe who carted Max along with him for his morning chores.

We ate a picnic breakfast out on the lawn with Croquetta. Max was more interested in feeding her than eating himself, so she quickly fell into a food-coma. 

In the afternoon Danny (the house moto driver) took us on an off-road tour up to a trout hatchery. 

The ride was very bumpy and exciting, Max slept the whole way up. There are lots of farm animals lining the streets, but my favourite of them has to be the burros. 

There were lots of locals up there camping and cooking the fish on the fire. They point out the trout they want, then the guy scoops it out and bops it over the head. 

This is Danny, he's been driving us everywhere so we needed to include a picture of him. He started working at 10 years old selling newspapers before and after school. He wanted to go to school to study agriculture but his father was not supportive so he saved up enough money to buy a moto-taxi and moved in with his uncle in Urubamba so that he can pursue his studies. Pepe and Carmen helped to get Danny's moto-taxi business off the ground. 

In the late afternoon, We took a walk through the streets of Urubamba... Max was thrilled to be out of the carrier and squealed as he ran down the street. 

This evening Pepe,  Carmen, and Roxanne (their housekeeper) prepared the ingredients for our pizzas. 

Pepe made one of the best pizza crusts I have ever tasted. 

While we waited for the pizzas, Max ran around playing with his new favourite toy, a flashlight. 

After pizza everyone gathered while Pepe, Carmen, and Denise sang by the bonfire. I have videos that I'm hoping to get up by tomorrow. It was absolutely beautiful, and so much fun. 

Max loves the music, he danced along and even found his own version of a drum. It was a wonderful day in Peru! 

I'm not sure what tomorrow has in store yet... But I'm looking forward to it. :)
