Pisac

The town of Pisac (Pisaq) is one of my favorite places in the Sacred Valley. I fell in love with Pisac the first time I came five years ago, and have fallen more in love with it ever since. It’s about 45 minutes from Cusco city and about 15 minutes from Casa De Milagros. Pisac is known for its amazing ruins, and for its popular artisan market. The entire town is lined with ancient Inca agricultural terraces that are still in use today, and the ruins provide an impressive backdrop to the town below. I’ve visited the ruins about 3 times, and there is still so much more for me to see and learn…

Honeymoon Cafe…My New Favorite Place

Driving home from Santa Ynez, I decided to stop “rushing” back and instead pull over and try to find a cute coffee shop or somewhere I could take my 11 AM call, have some coffee, and get some work done…Say what you will about Yelp, but it can be very useful at times, especially when you know what to search for. I typed in “best coffee shop pismo beach” and the 1st listing took me to rave reviews for a place called Honeymoon Cafe. The reviews were dead on, and I have discovered my new favorite place. Now if I could only get them to clone themselves in San Mateo…;-)
