Short blog because there isn´t much happening.
We have been in Cuzco for 2 days now and it has been fun. The crazy thing is that there are tourists everywhere. It is quite different from our experience in Chile. Our days have mostly consisted of walking around the city and looking at pretty things and also trinkets. It turns our we have stumbled upon trinket heaven and today we will actually be purchasing as many trinkets as humanly possible. The food here is delicious and the portions are ginormous(thats a real word, don´t worry about it). Also we have come to realize that being young 21 year old men we are in peak physical condition. It is really insane how we can climb large hills and never get winded. But, honestly we might die on this trek, 15,000 ft turns out to be really high. Now for the biggest con of this place. The locals are relentless with trying to get you to come to their diners and bars. Also the trinket sellers are insane trying to get you to by random things. But, the worst ones are the little demon children. They will literally follow you for block trying to sell cigarettes and wool hats. It is getting annoying. Sadly that is all for now and hopefully our last blog will be more entertaining that this one. We will blog one last time before our trek but for now it is trinket time.
Adios,
Stretta

Don't buy cigarettes from children, Stretta. They're bad for you.
ReplyDeleteThough out of sheer academic curiosity, how much do they cost (they, referring to the cigarettes)? They were dirt cheap in Ghana, but only white people really smoked there. Same in Cuzco?

No idea how much they cost here, but they are probably very cheap. Everyone smokes here. All the euros and all the locals. I don´t know how they do it at 11000 ft.
