winter break part one continued

the previous post was all about lima, capital of peru now (i think). this one's about cusco, ancient capital of the incas. i got hit by altitude sickness rather badly the first day we flew there, was very miserable lying on the hostel bed trying to sleep with a splitting headache, ended up crying in the bathroom while the others were away because i felt so sick and afraid of the impending 4 day hike. very pathetic right but managed to sleep after that and so began to appreciate cusco the next day:
i must qualify that most of the photos i post weren't taken by me, especially the nice scenery shots.
llama in the street!
at sacsayhuaman (?), or "sexy woman", an archaeological ruin site near cusco. the place is very rich in historical legacy, very thrilling for me.

fooling around on a hill.
heh heh as usual i attempt to touch as many children as possible around the world.

i loved cusco, but it was the beginning of the slippery road to sickness that made me very weak during the hike. and i hate feeling weak. hence the depressing entry when i got back.

i'm trying to upload everything before school starts tomorrow and i get busy/lazy, so please forgive the flood of entries.

this winter break has been too amazing for our own good. how to settle down now into school?
