We have found a little home away from home here in Cusco. Since we had a week of nothing after our trek, we considering going on a little three day trip out of Cusco. However, we love it here, so we decided to stay. This is the longest we have been in one place so far on our trip, but we have been filling our days up easily. We decided to take up salsa dancing and we have been working on our spanish (at least I have been.) Allison has been able to use a lot of her Spanish because we dont (i cant find the hypostraphy key) stay in the hostel much. We made a really awesome friend here from Australia named Garnet. He happened to be on the same Salkantay trek as us with a different group. We immediately grew a bond as we passed each other on the mountain huffing and puffing. Garnet has been going to salsa lessons almost everyday, which keeps us dancing. We really love learning salsa and hope to grasp it a bit before we leave South America. I hope to continue back in the States, dancing up a storm with some latino flavor.
We went to Pisac yesterday to go to the markets. It was a beautiful ride there, minus the motion sickness I had again. The markets were massive with lots of souveniers and silver. We did a little shopping, then headed back to Cusco for dinner.
More or less that sums up the past week. We are sad to leave tomorrow, but we are going to the Amazon. We dont really know what to expect, which is always exciting. We wont be able to post for a few days, so hold on for the next one.
