10:00AM - Natalie and Luco picked us up after breakfast and took us to Maras which was about an hour's drive away. 11:30AM - We first stopped at Moray, an Inca experimental farm. Upon first glance, it looked like a stadium. However, it was designed in such a way that each tier was at a different temperature, so that a different type of crop could be raised on each level. 1:00PM - We arrived at the Sal Natural y Ecologico (Salt Mines) and had boxed lunches in the car. There were over a thousand salt beds, and Alice tried to take a picture of each one. :-P I bought a couple bags of salted beans for 1 solis (approximately 33 cents) each. They tasted especially good when fresh. 4:00PM - We arrived back at the hotel and decided to look for the alpacas that lived at our hotel. There were two of them. I fed them while Alice took pictures. Afterwards, we wandered around the little shops outside of our hotel. 6:30PM - We decided to eat at the hotel again, since we wanted to be able to sleep early. We've got another early start tomorrow. 9:00PM - I tried to use the public computer to post today's travel blog. I was almost done when the computer froze. Frackin' Microsoft! We're checking out of this hotel tomorrow. Hopefully the next one will have WiFi.
