Breakfast was bright and early this morning. We traveled from the city of Lima to Cusco. The flight was about an hour and was so far the least painful flight. Cusco is what I envisioned Peru to look like. We went to ancient Inca ruins and saw temples, gardens, and churches. We saw an alpaca store and learned how to identify fake alpaca material. We met our new tour guide and she took us on a walking tour around the city to get a better grasp on the culture. We went to a restaurant and got to try alpaca meat. It was really tough but it tasted pretty good. As we ate, there were dancers on stage dancing to popular local music. At the end of our meal, they came around and asked a few students to dance with them (me being one of them). At first it was embarrassing, but it ended up being very fun even though I wasn't sure I was doing it right. Overall, the day went very well and it's been the best time of the trip!

Carson and Cole - wonderful blog ... and it sounds like you are both ready to tackle the incline in Manitou Springs - it only has 2,744 steps ;-) But since you guys are Rock Stars and All Stars - no challenge.
Glad that ya'll tried cuy - sounds like those Inca Colas could wash anything down ... and how exciting for the adults on the trip - I think I counted about 10 colas between just the two of you. Alas, I am glad to hear that you had some fruit salad, yummy, yummy.
Can't wait to see your super cool hats! Just remember, stay gold, and all that glitters is gold ...
Hey now - all ya'll are rock stars - get your game on - go Play Peruvian style!!
