A vegetable seller in the market at Pisaq, which we were lucky enough to stumble into after our climb. One of the amazing things about Peru is how much fresh produce is available - I thought we had it good in Australia, but every meal here has included beautifully fresh food (although some of it is a bit interesting, such as pieces of roast cuy - guinea pig - including the head, which I almost put on my plate at a buffet before realising what it was. I did however eat some less identifiable pieces of the little critter, which was delicious).

On another interesting occasion, I found myself eating clay (yes, literally) with potatoes, which is apparently a great natural remedy for diarrhoea. Try anything once, I guess.
