This is going to be a short blog because not much has happened since yesterday. Andrew and I left Arequipa and are now in Cuzco, the capital of the Incan empire. Tomorrow we are going to do a tour of the city including awesome churches and museums. We´re getting our international student cards so that we can get about 1/2 off on just about everything. then the day after we´re visiting saqsaywamán (pronounced like Sexy Woman) and Q´enqo, which are some local cities that have awesome ruins. Then after that we´re visiting Pisac, Urubamba, and Ollantaytambo, which have increasingly better ruins as you get closer to Machu Picchu. Then it´s MACHU PICCHU!! This is going to be one of the highlights of my trip this summer, so i´ll take some great pics. We´re going to leave the town closest to MP at around 3:00 a.m. so that we can be the absolute first people there! We´ll spend the day there with a tour guide showing us the cool facts about MP that aren´t well known. Then we´re back to Cuzco on Sunday for Corpus Christi, a huge Catholic festival that happens once a year on the ninth Sunday after Easter.
