We have dinner in the hotel that night. A Peruvian band plays music influenced by the Bolivian highlands. The group loves the music and Leylys gets us all up and dancing!

This long flute played very low notes.

The lead singer played a twelve-stringed instrument.

The next day we awake to find that it has been raining all night. We dress for the rain and take the bus back to Machu Picchu. Four people want to climb the sacred mountain of Huayna Picchu: Sylvia Zapata, June Webb, Phil Webb, and Barbara Case. Leylys strongly discourages us. He says it may be too dangerous because of the rain. Against his advice, we four agree to go. Here is a view of the Sacred Rock with rain falling from the roof of the wayronas. It is from this point that the four of us begin our ascent of the mountain.

Before we begin our climb, we look back at the ruins and see a group of llamas resting in the rain.
