we've got wheels! and...healthy food

yep we finally got some wheels here in derby! well not ours actually...courtesy of good friends of ours who just embarked on an amazing trip of america, canada, and europe for 5-6 months! so excited for them! we've taken over care of their car and fishing rods and are excited to make use of both :)  also, slightly less exciting...i'm trying to cook healthier food for us so I made threadfin salmon with ginger and soy marinade and roasted potatoes with roasted asparagus.  it was pretty good, but i think i have a bit of learning to do on the cooking front :) yay cooking school in ubud when we are in bali!  our amazing neighbor made us the most ridiculously amazing dish on friday night. we went over at 7pm and she had everything ready - lamb shanks down with an amazing vinegar and butter sauce in the pressure cooker with roasted, smashed, seasoned potatoes and steamed broccoli.  then sorbet and berries for desert. wine throughout the evening....just wonderful!

Salineras and Moray Trip

I have always wanted to go see these other sites here in Cusco and today was gorgeous so we took advantage of it! (it's been rainy and yucky here) Went to Salineras (salt production area started by pre-Incas and Incas) and Moray (agricultural terrace rings meant to experiment with microclimates). They were incredible and the views of the mountains around (Chicon, Pitusiray, Pumahuanca, Veronica, etc) were breathtaking.  We had a blast!
