July 10

The day began with breakfast at the Ibis hotel in Miraflores. After breakfast the group separated into several taxis and headed to the Inka Market. We arrived about 15 minutes early and a few if us took a stroll around the block. Once we circled back around, the gates to the main entrance were open for business. Some of us paired off and headed into different directions to look at the numerous objects. Everyone eventually bought souvenirs and trinkets for family and friends. After visiting the market,we went back to the hotel to get our bags so we could board a plane going to Machu Picchu. We barely made the plane to Cusco, but we arrived safely and the mountainside landscape is magnificent.
