A 7 hour bus ride and all I got was this....

Brian will tell you in detail what we have done, I´ll just do a brief version so I could say hi to everyone really and get out of the rain.

I am still on cloud nine and of course nothing will ever compare to Machu Picchu. We got back to Cuzco and had a free day on Sunday. So Brian and I got up and decided to have breakfast outside of the hotel finally. We had heard that there was a really good place called Jacks which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a cute little place owned by an Australian lady and her son i 6 year old and his name is of course JACK. We had a wonderful breakfast of Huevos Rancheros (a tortilla with beans then cheese and 2 eggs on top, with a side of pancakes and some hash browns and a side of potatoes. It was great. I now have a request from Brain for Sunday morning when we get back for Huevos Rancheros. Go figure. We walked around and found a few things that we bought. Nothing had jumped out at us being that you see the same thing over and over and over and over etc. and nothing is authentic. But what we found is really cool and was made by a local artist.

We walked around some more and the headed back to the hotel to hang out for a while. We have been going so much it was kind of nice to relax for a few minutes. We went to dinner with our group and then came back to the hotel. Nothing exciting considering we had already been to Cuzco already.

We woke up and met the group to leave at 8:00 this morning for a long bus ride to Puno. We stopped at a few places (they really know where to stop, every place has people selling something to you, its crazy). We had lunch in the middle of nowhere at a place that had a buffet believe it or not. The highlight was this cute little white puppy that we were playing with. He was so cute he was leading an Alpaca around by a rope and jumping up and bighting at it, before it sat on him. It was so cute.

After leaving there we still had 4 more hours in the bus with the bumpiest roads. People drive crazy here. I think worse than NY actually. We passed thru this town that I think was the most disgusting place I have ever scene. It was so chaotic and dirty and people all over the place and did I say DIRTY. You almost couldn't believe 300,000 people would live there. And wouldn't you know it, that is were our plane takes off from on Wednesday back to Lima. After for more hours we finally made it to Puno and it is REALLY disappointing. It certainly want worth the 7 hour trip. Well I am going to cut this short, we need to head back to the hotel to meet everyone for dinner. Hope everyone is doing wonderful. We miss and love everyone.
