So much to report, so little time...

Lots of good stories to tell you, and have to figure out the easiest way to upload photos to this blog. But the main thing to know tonight is that Lorne and Brian are busily packing up the last few items for their 3:30 wake up call tomorrow a.m. so they can get to the Llama Path office for their bus that takes them to the beginning of their trek...that Daliah and I have checked in for our noon flight to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca, and that the business centre for this hotel quaintly looks out over a Spanish colonial courtyard through massive glass windows...we have spent 2 fascinating days in and around Cuzco, and have had some real fun. Today we hiked up through the old town, shopping along the way of course, to a wonderful Inca ruin atop a hill, overlooking the entire city. We had amazing views (see Lorne´s facebook page for a photo). The altitude has been a bit of a hassle for me but the others are feeling fine. I´m learning to live with all the symptoms and I´m keeping hydrating and drinking the coca leaf tea, etc. We had an incredible meal last night at ChiCha (google it), and I took great photos...once I figure out how to put them up here, I will, or check back later on my facebook page...we are trying to remember to take good food photos. So...tomorrow morning the boys start walking and the girls go exploring at Lake Titicaca...we all plan to meet up at the Watchman´s Hut at Machu Picchu on Sunday morning around 7:30 a.m., we´ll let you know how that goes!!! Until tomorrow (or so), xoDeb.
