In the morning we said our goodbyes to Swiss friends Marchello and Enis.
We had made plans that the kids would take a Jewelry making class so that Laurel could work and Devin could play. However our Son spent the night vomiting because of food poisoning, a condition common among everyone we have talked to in Cusco.
So our daughter and I went to jewelry making class by ourselves. I was planning on being a non-active observer but discover on entering the shop that this was a serious class for adults taught only in Spanish. Rather than the string and beads that I was expecting, the room was filled with volatile chemicals, torches, and large presses.
Our daughter was able to do some of the work, I was able to do a good percentage and our instructor bailed us out one the rest. All work was done in .950 silver which we forged ourselves. The total cost for 4 hours of instruction the resulting silver ring and silver pendant was $15USD.
We had a very late lunch at a highly recommended restaurant where the ¨Panqakies¨ left our daughter in awe.
