Land of Llamas!

Sorry it has been awhile.  Right now I am in Cuzco and tomorrow am heading on a 5 day, 4 night trek to see Macchu Piccu!  No Internet for a few days!!

So, after almost missing my flight from Medellin to Lima, and taking a 22 hour bus ride, I made it with my friend Brian and his friend, Sam, a Peru native, to Cuzco.  Lima was a short visit, but fun. We ate some ceviche and went to some salsa clubs.  The next day we strolled the boardwalk and then took the exciting bus to Cuzco. 

22 hours on a bus - first few hours - great scenery.  Next few hours, not so great.  But, for about $50 usd, worth it.

Cuzco has been beautiful.  The first full day here we strolled the city and wandered during the Sun God festival.  The second day we did horseback riding through the countryside.  So much fun - we stopped along the way and visited some great sites.  We also crawled though some ancient sacred tunnels. 

The next two days we did some wandering around the city, bought some Peruvian accessories, and toured some ancient churches.  













We just finished our trek orientation and now I am off to pack for the trek.  

Adios!
