Mountains, Bikes, Yoga….We might be here a while!

DSC01607 Well after 3 solid months on the road, We have decided to slow down a bit and absorb some of the most beautiful mountain regions and culture this world has to offer.

We are in Cusco Peru and loving it. This place is full of endless possibilities. From Manchu Picchu to hundreds of Inca ruins. Mountains, hills, rivers,lakes, trails.  From mountain biking to yoga and everything in between. And that is just what we are going to do here for the next month of our trip. Paul just bought a mountain bike and I start a yoga teacher training course this next week. so needless to stay We kinda like it here.

DSC01664 I think this might be our home for the next couple of months. It has everything we need to live comfortably. Bed, parking for the motorcycles, WIFI, Hot water (most of the time),Kitchen and a beautiful view of the city and some mountains. and LOTS of colors:)

DSC01667 We have not ditched the motorcycles completely…How else would we get our mountain bikes up the mountain?

DSC01692 Johnny and Jenna, who are river guides in Stanley just happened to be here in Cusco this week. They rented a motorcycle and we cruised around the Sacred Valley. Had an awesome time and it is so good to see friendly faces. Thanks guys!

DSC01686 These are some really cool ruins I visited the other day with our friends Johnny and Jenna.

Moray was perhaps an Inca agricultural experiment station. As with many other Inca sites, it also has a sophisticated irrigation system. Their depth and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as  59 °F between the top and bottom. This large temperature difference was possibly used by the Inca to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops.(thank you wikipedia)
