We had a fantastic day in Cusco yesterday! We wondered the streets around the Plaza de Armes, shopping and taking pictures. We had an excellent lunchin a cute little cafe looking over the city. We found all sorts of interesting things around every corner, llamas and babies, taxis and cholitas, statues and fountains. Cusco reminds me a lot of Spain, there are tiny alleys every which way and big, open plazas with benches and flowers and trees.
Today we are hanging out in Cusco again, hopefully going to see some museums. We leave tomorrow really early in the morning to begin out 4 day hike up the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu!! We even get to go over the infamous, “Dead Woman Pass” on Friday! We´ll be at Machu Picchu by Sunday, and then back down to Cusco Sunday night, so you won´t hear from me again until Sunday, maybe even Monday morning. I think I will be very tired after all that hiking!
I´m having a little bit of trouble getting some pictures upload, but hopefully I´ll get that figured out soon and have some up.

Amazing! This is such an incredible journey! I am wishing you all great luck on your journey on the Inca Trail! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you return. Stay warm you guys, and know that there are a lot of people out here in Colorado thinking of you! I want to see pictures too!!
