BEST 24 Hours EVER

So a lot has happened since we blogged last.

We returned to Machu Pîcchu and hiked Waynapicchu, which is the mountain you see in the background of all of the pictures. Despite our sore legs from the previous day´s hike, we managed to scale yet another mountain. And, again, the view was well worth it. We´ll have pictures that we´ll later post, but as you can imagine, they will not do it justice. You MUST see it to believe it. Here are a few of our photos to give you an idea:

After the hike, we walked back down to Aguas Calientes, and caught the train back to Cusco. We had dinner at an Irish pub (very Peruvian, I know) and followed it up with drinks at Mama Africas after being harrassed on the street to "Come to Africa..." It is true what they say about having a drink at a high altitude. You get a lot more bang for your buck, or in this case, sol.

Today, we woke up and realized we could no longer walk. So, we decided we would let someone else do the walking for us. We rented two (of what must be, the WORLD'S SMALLEST) horses and galloped around the Incan ruins surrounding Cusco. One of the ruins is pronounced like "sexy woman," which was sort of entertaining to have numerous individuals ask you if you wanted to see thee "sexy woman."

A quick flight to Puno and we dropped our stuff off at the hotel. It turns out that today is CARNIVAL! So we walked around and checked out the dancing, parades, and silly string that every child on the street seems to have a huge can of. We are just returning from a delicious dinner of trout straight from Lake Titicaca. Tomorrow, it's off to the Lake, where we'll spend a night on an island, so we'll be back online in a few days.

We´re off to continue in the CARNIVAL celebration.

P.S. Phillip, we´ve seen llots of llamas and we llove them.
