Cusco!

We made it to Cusco, and it is awesome! It looks totally different from any other city in Peru, way more European, with cobblestone and narrow streets. There are so many places to run around that it almost seems overbearing. We set up our 5 day trek to Machu Picchu tonight, and got a great deal, mostly because we are the cheap bastards that run around to all the different touring places and threaten them with lower prices elsewhere (I love carrying 5 different flyers in my hand and throwing them on the desk; it really gets them warmed up for some haggling). In any case, we are going to be tackling Peruvian back country for almost a week, so don´t expect an update in a little bit, though, when it does come, expect a bombardment of Machu Picchures...anyways, we´ve got to meet some people for drinks soon, and we have to grab some Coca leaves before we start the hike, so farewell for five days, and wish us luck.
