SO Jessica and I met up at the airport with no problem. We arrived in the airport of Cusco at around 11am and went to get out luggage. The last time I arrived in Cusco (alone) I was swarmed by women trying to get me to stay in their hostels. This time, nary a soul came to greet us (probably because its a higher season). With nowhere to go we walked up to an information desk where the woman behind the counter quoted us with ridiculous prices like 30 dollars for a shared room. Of course this was too much money so we decided to just hop into a cab and find something in the center. I ended up having a great conversation with the cab driver and he brought us to a wonderful hostel right by the main plaza with our own bathroom, breakfast and hot water. Obviously he gets commision but we saved money and he is a nice guy so it was worth it.
Tomorrow we are off on a 5 day trek to Machu Pichu so my next post will be sometime next week and hopefully there will be many pictures to post.
peace out

Please come back immediamente. I miss trying to get you to come out and you saying no.
nico! this weekend you hiked in peru. this weekend i stayed in a hotel room that looked like a swedish prison (ie decorated exclusively by ikea). we are not even.
sounds like you are having a wonderful time and having lots of adventures. wednesday came and went and we did not have dinner... i was sad.
Fun! I cant wait to see pictures, I am actually teaching the unit on South America Civilizations to my 7th graders. You may make a powerpoint presentation
That was me above

sounds like fun. your apartment was nice but you had two month old milk and probably even older vegetables.
be safe big sis.
by the way, while i am glad you're having fun, i just remembered we're in a fight. you were supposed to take me and butts to a mets game next friday. now we have no place to go.
I am so happy you finally get to hike the Inca Trail. Remember last time, you were stuck in Arequipa with an intestinal infection when Nili, Pippa, and I hiked the Trail. Hope it was all you wanted it to be!
Love ya,
Nia
Agreed, the inca trail was absolutely fucking amazing and I'm happy you are doing it now so we can pretend you were there with us and add to our annoying arsenal of stories that alienate all of our friends on a reg basis.
