lima, cusco, y pisac

5/15/10 - today we flew to cusco on TACA airlines. Last night i only got 2 hours of sleep and i feel really tired today. Dont feel like writing much today.

5/16/10 - Hoy fue como mierda. Quiero vomitar por unas ruinas pero no puedo. Estoy almorzando en ese momento y espero que 'dessert' sea deliciosa.

It is just amazing to see what the incas were able to di with the land that they had. The terraces along the mountain are awesome to see from the top of the ruins in Pisac. It is hard to fathom that people were able to bring the rocks to these spots to build the structures. I did feel quite nauscious from the high altitude. I did not take the medicine until this morning, and i guess it was too late. The hike wouldve been more enjoyable if i did not feel like throwing up the whole time. I felt a lot bettter after lunch, when we went to the market.


At the Pisac market, i shopped for a lot of different souveneirs. A great part of shopping was bargaining. Our group leader carlos said that most of the vendors raise prices, expecting ppl to bargain. Anyways, i got some good bargaining practice and a few souveneirs to take home.
