Well, I am here in Urubamba safe and sound! The travel from Colorado to Peru couldn’t have been easier! Every flight was on time, and no luggage was lost. The sun was just rising on my flight from Lima to Cusco. When we started to land, I looked out the window at a world more beautiful than I imagined! Jagged snowcapped Andean peaks. Lushes green hills and valleys.
The city of Cusco is shrouded in Inca history. On the taxi ride to my B&B we had to stop at a big construction site. They just wanted to widen the road but found Inca ruins when they started digging, so now it’s an excavation site! Slept for a bit at the hotel. Went exploring around the narrow cobble stone streets of San Blas, the art district. Dinner at a pizzeria in the central Plaza de Armas. (The most popular food here is either Chinese or Italian pizza or pasta??) Looked in a couple of the 12 churches in Cusco. All of them look as big and grand as cathedrals! Pretty much just a couple of days of rest before my trip to Urubmaba on Saturday!

Hi Kate, I am so excited that you are going to share your adventures on your blog. I remember when you setup your blog for your semester at sea and I had to ask what is a blog. I am so proud of the person you have become and the work you are doing. I can't wait to read more. Stay safe, love Aunt Sue
