Cusco, again!

I arrived into Cusco early in the morning of July 15th. I was supposed to have taken a plane back to Lima with Steve early this morning but a few days earlier the airline canceled that flight and gave me a new one for the 16th which was fine. Steve was hit hard by altitude sickness and decided to get out of Cusco and took a flight out on July 14th.

I spent most of the day at a great Incan museum. I had this American girl as my tourguide and she was super informative! By far my best museum experience in all of South America! And you know that with my nerdiness I have visited my share of museums.. haha

Not only was it great that my flight was canceled so that I could visit this museum in Cusco but also, Victor arrived on the evening of July 15th!! We are both traveling in South America this summer but our paths weren´t going to be crossing at all but as luck would have it, they did! I had a great time hanging out with him and his Cornell friends, Steve and Tim. We had dinner in Cusco, went out dancing, then the next day Victor and I went hiking in the morning to a mountain above the city. There was a great view of the city and a huge white jesus above us overlooking the city. I had to hurry up and pack though because I had a flight to catch to Lima at 11am!

I said good bye to Victor and the cold of Cusco and hopped on my flight to Lima and then my overnight bus to get to the beaches of Mancora in northern Peru on the morning of the 17th.
