So, I made it

I am very much in Cusco right now.

Some interesting points so far:
-There are tons of alpaca (llamas) walking around everywhere
-Everything looks and feels ancient. Probably because it is, but you know.
-I´m constantly surrounded my mountains, which is the best.

I´ve been walking around exploring a ton, and today I started taking pictures. I figured I was being safe with my camera, until a car sped by and a kid reached from the window and grabbed at me, unsuccessfully. His hat fell off and they kept going. I was dumbfounded, and I realized I´ll just be the most careful man alive from now on. Shake it off.

My family is pretty interesting so far. There are seven members of the family living in the house, and I´ve now met five. I would have met the other two had I not fallen asleep at 7 last night and slept until 8 this morning. On the bright side, when I woke up I felt like a hundred bucks.

I´ve made one American friend so far and one Peruvian friend (who I spoke to for a half hour earlier, and then ran into again on the other side of Cusco today).

No pictures yet. I´ll figure out how to manuver that later. Until then...
Adios

It sounds amazing there. 2 questions:
Did you keep the hat?
Any problems with the altitude?

Keep the blog posts coming.
