Climb to Turi

Yesterday, after spanish class, we hiked to Turi, which is a small village on a ridge to the south of Cuenca . It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular. We spent some time at the top taking pictures and looking through our binoculars. The city is very spread out and buildings any higher than six or seven stories are rarely seen. After appreciating the views, we wandered a little further up the hill to a small cemetary overlooking a valley south of the ridge. It was peaceful there, lovely scenery, but was evident that several graves had been robbed and an eerie feeling quickly ended our visit. We walked down the mountain and picked up some pollo for dinner.
