I am in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This is where the Incas grew a lot of their food. The old terraces that go all the way up the mountains are still used.


 The Urubamba river flows through the Sacred Valley. The level of the water is just to the edge of the banks where corn is planted.

The Sacred Valley from Pisac.

 This is a neighborhood of Iquitos where people live in floating houses. One of the advantages is you can go swimming whenever you want outside your door. This only works during the rainy season when the water comes up about 20 feet. The kids were having a blast.
