hi...well, i am near the last leg of my journey. i just finished my last bus ride thank god...it was 7 hours...anything over 5 i feel like i am going to have a panic attack! After i emailed last night i went back out to the festivities...it was nuts. Twice i got pulled out into the streets to dance to the drums. i then had dinner and wentto bed. i woke up early and caught the 8 am bus to Cuzco...the ride..though long was incredible...right through the heart of the andes mountains and glaciers! it was breathtaking. So i will be here for 4 days and then catch a flight back to lima....i need to make all my arrangements tonight for machu pichu, sacred valley,etc. As for pictures....i´ve already taken 200 digital and 110 regular. i had to buy a disposable camera now...and i only have room for 80 more pics onmy digital disk. i didn´t think iw as going to take that many. the altitude has not bothered me and i am holding up well...tho i am feeling a little tired so maybe staying in one place for four days will help. i am hoping to find a shaman while here and i am finally going to try cuy or guinea pic! Amazingly, i have met only one american in 1 1-2 weeks....mainly german, french, italians. i asked why and the reviews are mixed...some feel that americans dont like back packing or americans dont like the harsh terrain and want organized tours. The locals are very suprised i am from the Estados unidos. Well, i need to get a bite to eat, make my arrangements and explore the city a little
