Day 3 - Salinas and Moray (Nov. 12, 2012

Still in the Sacred Valley area, we hired a taxi to view the salt beds of Salinas and the Incan terraced agricultural area known as Moray. Some of the sights along the way were amazing:

On the way to Moray, some highway obstacles:

The Andes are awesome:

At Moray, the Incans used a bowl-shaped terrace to grow crops and to see how they fared at different altitudes:

On the way back, a view from above Urubamba:

And a view of our hotel (Hotel Recoleta) from above:

Back to the hotel, a picture of a 500-year old Cedar tree:

And off to Urubamba town and the market:

We went to a ceramics shop and while Judy was shopping I had some words with the natives:

They were struggling to understand my Spanish:
