The first day in Cusco




We had an exhausting and fun day with little or no sleep. After a long day we are finally in our hotel in Cusco. We made it into Lima by midnight but the process of getting through customs and delivering the donated clothes we took down with us took until 3:00am. Our flight to Cusco was supposed to be at 5:50 and we were canceled twice for bad weather.

It is now 9:30 at night and we have had a fun day. We slept a little then headed out to sightsee at 1:30. We spent the rest of the day learning about the Inca and seeing some awesome sights. Part of our package included a 15 passenger van and a tour guide. We ended up the day at a nice buffet with a folklore show. The press at every turn to sell you something is constant but you can't help but sympathize with them.
