greetings from peru!
May. 27th, 2008 12:36 amThings I have done in Peru so far:
-toured ancient inkan ruins of saqsaywaman
-bought a completely absurd amount of alpaca yarn (not even that cheap :b I just had to buy alpaca yarn in peru, especially after visiting the alpaca farm and seeing how they make the wool. baby alpaca is actually from the alpaca´s chest and neck and not babies)
-hiked around the terraces of Pisac (seriously amazing and gorgeous -- best part so far)
-ate many a cheap and delcious meal. everything here seems to cost me only around $4
-road (and drove a little) an ATV around the countryside. SO FUN, scary but so fun. it was all very motorcycle diaries
-walked around Cusco city. sometimes in this city i feel like i´m in europe and somtimes like i´m in mexico
-i´ve also taken a ridiculous amount of pictures
tonight i pack my bag to start on the class Inka trail to macchu picchu. i´m nervous but so excited. this country has already exceeded my expectations. i would recommend it to anyone. and the dollar goes a long way here. seriously, this place is absolutely gorgeous. dare i say that its beauty even rivals that of scotland? (not that scotland isn´t still my favorite, after all who here has such a hot accent?) and i have a feeling the best is yet to come!
