FINALLY!
I´m here in Cuzco. I spent a few days in Lima with my mom, but we got to Cuzco yesterday. My mini-adventures to date:

1) Sitting between two old ladies on the 8 hour flight from Newark. They muttered prayers to Jesus constantly through the whole flight and then when we landed told me that he always takes care of us.

2) Standing in line for customs, I saw a really tiny and cute little girl. I smiled; she stopped and stuck out her tongue. I knew at that moment that I am going to love Peru.

3) Eating dinner in a French convent with singing nuns.

4) Today we went to Sacsayhuaman, only for an hour, because the cabbie didn´t want to wait any longer. I plan to return, but today I got some great photos, including aerial shots of La Catedral, or, as I like to think of it, Wilber´s Church.

I am loving the BEAUTIFUL scenery in Cuzco; everything from the humans to the architecture to the mind-bending mountain views. This is a place I could get used to (and not just because it´s going to work wonders for my troubled lungs). I imagined a lot, expected nothing in particular, and am already surprised at the meditative atmosphere. Being here is such a contrast from Boston, and I didn´t even know I needed it so much. This is great!
