First Day In Peru Nov. 2010







We flew into Lima, Peru very early this morning on Lan Airlines ( who I highly recommend) and spent 3 hours hanging out in their airport. It's nice but small and we didn't get to see much as the fog was pretty thick. Then we flew to Cusco, Peru, the fog disipated and the sun came out and I finally managed to sleep. Cusco is extrodinary. There is history and beauty everywhere...and altitude sickness that I'm hopeing will go away soon! We ventured out this afternoon to just kind of get a feel for the city. This is a town you could spend weeks exploring and never get bored of. Tomorrow we plan on some more exploring and maybe alittle shopping and then a guided city tour, followed by dinner at one of these great restaurants they have here. The we'll head out on a private tour to see the Sacred Valley and the the day after that Machu Picchu. EXCITED! Oh yah Bill wanted to book our hotel when we we arrrived in Cusco but at the last minute we booked alittle hotel from Hotels.ca and Oh My Goodness, Oh My Goodness it's a beautiful little hotel just off the main square with amazing rooms and an open court yard in the middle where you can sit and have a meal, or go inside to the bar where there's a fire burning to help keep the chill of the evening away while blogging over a glass of wine. What a way to spend your time....now if i could just get rid of the altitude sickness life would be bliss!
