Since we felt bad leaving the kids out of learning and participating in a local custom, this morning we all headed back to the Choco Museo for a chocolate workshop.
We learned about the history of chocolate and made our own. We started by roasting the cacao beans, shelling them, and finally grinding them by hand. No product of the process was wasted. We made choco tea from the shells and two types of chocolate drinks from the beans. Then we mixed flavours to create our own unique chocolates. It was interesting and entertaining (not to mention delicious)!
In the afternoon we walked up to Sacsayhuaman ("sexy woman"), but were unable to enter the site. We did see some amazing views of the city though.
On the way back down, we wandered through souvenir shops and craft stores collecting the last momentos of our trip to Peru.
