Our view of the city of Urubamba as we drove toward Chinchero this morning.	We drove through several farms framed by snow-capped mountains.	We stopped at a farm to see what the family was doing, but couldn't stay long because these bulls were involved in a fierce fight. It lasted for at least 15 minutes, and appeared to end just as we were leaving.	At least they were fighting amid some nice scenery!
We stopped at another farm where a large family was harvesting its potato crop.	Steve was invited to try his hand at plowing - he failed miserably and everyone had a great laugh...	This lady (with the ubiquitous child on back) is preparing a dirt oven that will be used to roast potatoes that the family will eat for their traditional harvest-day lunch. Potatoes are placed inside, and the oven is collapsed on top of them for cooking.	Here we are helping the family sort through their potatoes.
David quickly found out how heavy a bundle of potatoes can be!			Katie's carrying a bundle of her own!
