Day 4 Cuesco

Well, we finally got here after getting up early this morning, packing, and heading out to the airport in Lima. We flew for about an hour and a half up into the Andes Mountains (and i took a few pics of snow covered peaks which i hope turn out thru the glass of the airplane window). When i got here i really felt the altitude (11,000 feet) and drank three cups of cocoa tea which wiped out the fatigue and shortness of breath -- now i hope i sleep tonight from so much high energy drinking. After we ate some lunch, we did a walk of the downtown of this UNESCO world heritage city site (about 300,000 people) which reminds me so much of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico -- the stone streets, the massive stone buildings, the friendly people. Already i have taken a number of people pics up here, which i am always so inclined to do. Every meal has been quite tasty, for lunch today i had alpaca, which tastes like -- chicken, as our guide likes to say everything tastes like. Anyway, it was good. It is a bit cloudy up here as we are in the rainy season but have yet to see any rain.
Okay, that's all folks -- for now!
