Later during our stay in Urabamaba we visited Ollantaytambo. The ruins were just as spectacular as Sacsayhuaman. HOW did they get the stones stacked so perfectly? Seriously... It was totally mesmerizing to be there, After hiking around the ruins, we visited a community farther up in the hills. After a full day's work, the women of the community come home and weave (as a hobby). As someone how has recently taken up waving, I can tell you that it is incredibly laborious and strenuous work. It blows my mind that they're able to do it after working in a field all day. And their weavings were spectacular. See for yourself below! ^^ My mom made me buy a hat. Haha. So I rocked this super for the rest of the trip ;) ^^ The kids all lined up for a box of apples that Backroads brought them. I'm not sure why they all held on to each other, but seriously, could they be any cuter? ^^ And a random donkey
