Greetings from Cusco!

Once again, I can't seem to sleep (I've been up since about 3:30am), so I figure I'll give a little update. Yesterday morning, we met the 4 other people we were traveling from Lima to Cusco with. They all seemed very nice, and we got along great. This group of 4 included the only other 2 who traveling the Lares Trek with us rather than the official Inca Trail. They're a couple of girls from Scotland named Gillian and Marie, and seem like they'll be very fun to hike with.

When we arrived in Cusco, we got a small tour of the city, and were taken to a great restaurant where I tried alpaca (which was delicious). I'm having troubles uploading pictures at the moments, but a number of them are already on facebook, so check them out there!

At 4pm we met up with my buddy Adam that I went to Belize with back in 2008. He had just gotten back from the Inca Trail and said it's amazing.

On a sad note, my ipod seems on the verge of death. It was having troubles booting up, and I can hear the platters scratching. Pray for me that it last until I get back home!

I need to start getting ready for the day. This is the last time until Saturday I will have internet access, because everything goes into storage that I'm not taking on the hike. We head to the Sacred Valley/Ollantaytambo today, then start our hike Wednesday morning. I'll check back in, hopefully with tons of pictures when we get back from this amazing adventure on Saturday.

Until then,

Ryan
