This weekend we had Friday off for Memorial day. Grant and I decided to go to
Samaipata which is about 3 hours from Santa Cruz up in the mountains. We had already visited on the youth retreat but we were busy the entire weekend and didn't explore anywhere. The drive up was so much fun just because of the scenery. The mountains and valleys are beautiful the only problem is most of the time they are covered by clouds. On the way home it was perfectly clear.
There was a rope bridge on the way and so we stopped and Grant tested it but it groaned and sagged and some of the boards were already broken so I stayed on solid ground. There was a place to stay on the other side of the bridge and we still aren't sure if there is another way to get there other than the bridge.
We stayed at
Traudi and had a wonderful view. The only other thing we were worried about was having was bed bugs :) It was nice but some people have warned us that it has happened.
This was our room--it was called
Amancaya, which pronounced in Spanish resembles "I'm on
fiya" It gave us a good laugh.

On the way home it was sunny and we stopped several times when there was room on the side of the road to take pictures of the gorgeous scenery.
