Cusco, Peru
Hola!
All I have to say about the previous post is you really had to be there. (Chloe you´re totally on my blacklist!)
Greetings from Cusco (above)! A you may have gathered, my travels went less than smoothly and involved among other things getting to know airports intimately and holeing up in a hooker-filled motel in Atlanta...
It was all worth it to see the incredibly stunning sight as we flew through the mountains and down into incredible Cusco. I´m in love with this city already; it is breathtaking in boths senses of the word! Steep cobbled streets give way to sweeping mountainsides, set against the brilliant blue sky. Everyone is very friendly and I feel more confident already with my Spanish.
I´m staying at the student and volunteer digs of my language school and it´s great; they make us incredible Peruvian-inspired food every day and everyone´s pretty chilled out. I´ve been adjusting to the crazy altitude by drinking my weight in Mate de Coca tea and in the meantime feeling like a lardass cos i get so tired so easily! I´ve had a few classes already and they make my brain hurt in the best possible way.
Tomorrow we´re gonna go get tickets to see Brazil vs Peru in soccer!! Can´t wait to see what craziness that brings. Hope all´s well on all sides of the ocean. I cant load up pics on this computer but I wish you all could see what I am seeing!
Abrazos,
Millay
