Oh ya and Dad likes shopping too!! You'll have to ask him how he likes alpaca socks!!! Every market or stand we came across, the first thing Dad would pick up was always socks! hehehe I think he ended up going back to Canada with at least 10 pairs!!! But the sock here can't beat the fashionable hats....I hope none of you are greenpeace animal lovers! Also another really neat experience he had with markets, was the one he is standing in with the lovely hat. A little girl saw him looking at some copper spurs for cowboy boots and she was trying her best to sell them to him. Unfortunately they were so heavy that Dad was forced to say no to the little girl. "How would he ever get these home", he thought. I am sure that Dad forgot about them, as we were really busy site-seeing and stuff. But at one of the last places that we stopped on our way through the Sacred Valley, we stopped in this little town called Chinchero. There was this huge open market! Heaven!!! We were looking around, shopping for "socks" and my dad felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and there she was, the little girl from the Cuzco market, holding the same spurs. How could he resist this little face and the fact that she had found him so many miles away.My dad ended up taking home a very heavy set of copper spurs and a wonderful memory.
