Cusco: Last Day

Grammar test at Amauta School today finished off our official schooling in Peru.  Afterwards we went to San Pedro Market for the best 2 mangoes, a juicy slice of watermelon.  In addition we shared juices: strawberry+milk, mixto+milk, pineapple+banana and banana+milk as well as S./ 1 cookies from the bread ladies.  As we were leaving we also got some Manajar Blanco for the road.

Then back to the Artisan market to finish off last minute souvenir shopping and I also finally got the blanket I have been debating for our whole 2 weeks in Cusco.  Man, it really sounds like all I did was shop in Peru, doesn't it? But neverfear, sometimes we would just wander through the market on our way to one place or another, and I am a champion window shopper so I certainly did NOT buy things every time we go 'shopping.'

At our last fancy dinner at Hotel Monestario we enjoyed tabouleh salad, spinach and cheese ravioli and the oddest strudel I have ever had.  It was a wonderful last meal and the heartfelt ending toasts were the perfect ending to a wonderful trip.
