Yesterday morning we caught another small minivan/bus out to a ruin called Tombayachay and walked the 8km backed to Cuzco, seeing four or five sites along the way. It was very enjoyable. The views were incredible and it was nice to be out in the country and get some fresh air. It did, however, end up raining on us, then pouring on us, and then hailing on us, pero todo parte la experiencia, ¿no?
In the evening we were going to meet up for Cuy, but it was ridiculously expensive so we tried alpaca steak instead, which I thought was very good. Tasted very tender, and was a thinly sliced piece of meet. We had dinner with one of Sam and Kyle´s friends, Hallie, from their hostal. Afterwards we went to smoke some sheesha and have a few drinks to end our time in Peru.
I am continually amazed at how easy it is to meet people everywhere I go. Clearly, if I was at this for longer I would start to form ¨traveler¨ relationships. The more this happens to me the more I start to think that maybe, just maybe, I could be able to travel by myself, but for the time being this thought still intimidates me.
My flight leaves Cuzco in four hours, and then I´ll have a 14 hour layover in Lima which I´ll use to meet up with some people from Germany I met in Quito, and then home. I have a 90 minute layover in Atlanta to clear customs and recheck my bags, go through security, and find a gate in the busiest airport in America -- sounds like this climatization at high altitudes will come in handy as I sprint through the airport!
¡Choa!
