happy new year

We spent a quiet New Year's Eve in Cusco.  We went to El Molino market and checked out all the lucky yellow underwear and other traditional items they sell.  I can honestly say you can have too much yellow underwear as this market was living proof of that!  Wow - it was definitely a sight to behold. 

Both kids were asleep before midnight but we woke them up to see the fireworks.  Only Matthew decided to stay awake for them; Emilia struggled to stay awake and was soon back in the Land of Nod.

She did enjoy her time with the sparklers however - Matthew didn't like them at all.  Maybe next year!

All the best to friends and family for 2014 and may you have an adventurous year!

a quiet Christmas and a trip to ollantaytambo

We spent a quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home in Cusco just hanging out and enjoying the peace and quiet.  We were all set to go to San Sebastian for the festivities but unfortunately it rained all afternoon so we decided just to stay indoors and make the most of just being at  home.

We opted for a no-fuss Christmas this year - minus the Christmas meal - just an eat what you want, do what you want kind of day and it worked well.

I really like that Christmas can be a no-stress time for the whole family.

After our quiet Christmas Day we decided that we would go to Ollantaytambo and just hang out for a couple of days at the Full Moon Lodge, taking in the cafes and restaurants and walking around town. 

The scenery in that part of the world is just gorgeous and we always like to visit someplace new to amuse ourselves.

The bus ride is only short - about an hour and a half - so just long enough to feel like a vacation but not too far so they get terribly bored.

The hostel was lovely - the kids enjoyed having some outdoor space and while we didn't do too much over the days we were there - we enjoyed just spending time relaxing and not having to worry about being anywhere or doing anything.

We were disconnected from the world for 3 days and it was lovely!  No tv.  No phone.  No internet.  Just heavenly.
