Pisaq

Inca Temple and the solar clock broken by the spanish

This is taken in the Inca nunnery. We were told that the nuns entered the nunnery at 4 years old and were usually stolen for wives when they reached pubity. This one must have been left behind for some reason. Ahhhhhhhh I just got thumped by Cheryl.... ----------------------------------------------- We took the bus to Pisaq with a couple of Swiss girls and a teacher from our school who was a fantastic guide. Pisaq is a town at the entrance to the sacred valley of the Incas and was and important community which guarded the valley from intruders. There are also pre-inca ruins there so it was interesting to see the development of the technologies they used over the ages. The stone work at the temple is amazing, this is one of those places you hear about where you could not even slide a piece of paper between the stones. Have a look at the photo, it´s true! We have a great story about a model in the ruins doing calendar shots. We will save that one for our return...
