STILL IN CUSCO!

Cusco is a beautiful city, but it WON´T LET US GO! We had our bus tickets last night, finally able to leave (Shawn feeling fully recovered), and when we got to the bus station they told us that there was a strike. Busses weren´t being let through Puno or the Bolivia/Peru border. This meant that we had to take a cab back and find another hostel. We woke up to find that we had been charged not for the room, but per person, which was VERY annoying. We only really lost 7 dollars worth of money, but everything´s relative here; 7 dollars is some heavy cash! Anyways, we are now trying to kill the many hours we have until our bus tonight, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the strike is over today (which is what they told us....is that how strikes work here?). Anyways, hopefully we´ll update when we are in La Paz tomorrow morning..

Talk to you guys later,

Ron
