Cusco to Macchu Piccu -- day 6

Good to hear from you all. Bert, i did not like the guinea pig. There was nothing there to eat -- like eatting a sparrow with too many bones. Kate, thanks for the note about Shea , that made my heart melt. Boy, do i MISS him. I have been taking a lot of little kid pictures maybe to get my Shea fix. Suz, the family loved the two CD's with your pictures and went on and on about how beautiful you are. I just smiled and said to myself, í know.' We will leave for Macchu Piccu in a few minutes. The altitude i don't seeem to mind when i am upright but when i lie to for bed i seem to snort and gasp trying to get more air in -- ansd the heart seems to beat faster too. Maybe i got blocked sinuses. Bert, i will try and get a window seat on the left side of the train to take in the spectactular river gorge on the way up the mountain. Love everybody.
hasta la vista!!!
