Day 7+ 8

The past two days have been spectacular. I don't have much time but I'll fit in what I can now and add details later.
Yesterday we did a half day at the work site, then made the trek over to the village we made the stoves for, for the celebration. When we first got their nothing had really started, so a soccer game was started with Stelly's vs. Properu vs. Peruvians. We lost. I wiped out. It was bad. Shortly after the game ended we found out there was going to be a funeral procession passing through. They take the coffin from the house, to the church, then to the cemetery.
After that we were served Cuy (guinea pig) with a mass plate of potato, corn and salad. Morgan got my Cuy and I got her corn. It worked well.
After that we had a tree ceremony. There was a huge tree stuck into a hole in the ground, and some of the elderly in the village came around and smeared a pink chalk like thing on our faces. It involved a huge chunk of the community, the Properu people, and Stelly's dancing around said tree. Ater a few minutes an axe was brought into the circle and people started going in pairs to the tree and taking a few chops. Now, we had heard of this before. Who ever cuts down the tree, pays for the ceremony for the next year. We had decided that we would not be cutting down the tree, then next thing you know, Ian sends the tree down to the ground. Sooo, we're paying for next years ceremony, though it should only involved paying for the tree and the gifts in it.
It was truly amazing- the faces of everyone, the people of the community and us, had such looks of happiness on their faces. As we left, everyone was grabbing us, kissing our cheeks (there is no such thing as personal space here) and thanking us.

Today was purely for tourisms sake. We saw the ruins of Ollanaytambo (oy-an-ta-tambo) and Sacsayhuaman (sax-ay-woman) and are currently staying in the coolest hotel in Cusco. Its very lord of the rings, hobbit style. The showers are rather sketchy though, Asia got attacked. Tomorrow we're visiting the Pisac Ruins, and Pisac market, before we return to Urubamba. We've found the strike is not going to be happening, though monday has already been changed offically. We have a hike planned for the morning, and we're visiting an agro-tourism site.
PS: I'm in the sketchiest internet cafe everrrr.
