and we're back!

I blame the 6 month hiatus on school and work, and maybe some laziness
but now... 
We're Back!
(our habitación en San Blas)

This time we are blogging from the beautiful city of Cuzco

(I have yet to take a good photo of the city, one coming soon! This is in the Plaza de Armas)

(The view from our window in the Hutan Wasi Hostel)
This week has been a lot of settling in, moving from place to place, and a lot of eating
which, is really pretty good
Highlights from the week include
Los Ninos - There are kids everywhere, and for every kid there are 2 dogs. The dogs are everywhere and so gross/hilarious. But the kids are very cute.

The churches -  They look like they were lifted out of Italy and sat in this andean valley, so out of place. Remind us of our honeymoon :)

Gun Shots - Billy and I were watching some TV to try and stay awake at night when we heard a loud gun shot. Then another and another. It freaked us out so bad until we heard a firework. So Billy opened the window and heard a firework being lit and then go off. We felt a little better until we heard two more gunshots. Then sirens. Finally to ease my paranoia, Billy and I went to the roof of our hostel. Next to us was a church, where they were celebrating the Festival of the Crosses. The sirens where the police stopping them from shooting the guns, which they were only doing out of excitement. So far there has been one day out of 5 where there has not been some parade or festival. Pretty fun!
