Wednesday was our last day in the homestays and our last service day.  We finished what we had left on the mural and the sidewalk.  All the children loved the mural with the bright colors and all the silly paintings.  After work the school performed the Pachamanca ceremony for us.  It was a feast and dance performed by the school children.  The feast was cooked in an underground oven and yes we had the guinea pig.  After the feast we had some bitter sweet goodbyes with our families and headed back to Ollantaytambo.  We chilled until we were treated to pizza for the first time and we ate every bite.  Then we went to bed early to prepare ourselves for the early morning trip to Machu Picchu.
