Today I went with Nancy to see the pyramids in Cochasquí. We took several buses & walked a great deal to get there. Walking was hard (actually breathing was hard!) because it was uphill with a significant increase in altitude, but I did it! Yeah!! It was very interesting--pre-Inca. We went on a tour with a guide, who of course spoke en español. I didn´t understand as much as I would have liked, but got some of it & have to be patient with my comprehension. This place seems to be a well-kept secret. No one I know has been there & it´s not even in my Lonely Planet Guide Book. The only other people with us on the tour were a local couple.
In less than a week, I´ll be in Cuenca, my teaching & living destination. Can´t wait!
