Trip to Cuzco

This is Michelle...writing my first blog in Peru...Woo!!! I was the last to arrive (sadly) Saturday night to a group of drunk girls. The party starts late in Lima!!! We went to bed for a few hours and woke early to start our trip to Cuzco. When we got to the airport in hopes to catch a flight. Thankfully, we all thought we would be on our way on the 9:45 flight; however, in the process of buying our tickets the airline sold out. Mike and Kara were forced to take a later flight, poor Kara had a panic attack but we all made it to Cuzco safely. In Cuzco is where we met Alberto...our savior. He not only was our transportation from the airport but our tour guide and planner for the next few days. We spent the rest of the day resting, drinking Coco Tea and adjusting to the altitude.

Day 2 in Cuzco consisted of shopping and sight seeing. We visited Museums and Churches, walked on narrow cobblestone streets, and watched the town prepare for the approaching festival. Throughout the day we saw numerious people dancing in the streets, from small children to adults....so much fun!!! We left Cuzco in the afternoon on our way to Aquas Calientes and finally MACHUPICCHU!!!!!
