Cusco

The altitude is deadly here....slight headaches and nausea prevail. We are still aclimatizing but enjoying the markets and the people. Lots of history and interesting stories to relate. Today we are visiting a mission in the hills...it´s hard to imagine the poverty or lower standard of living but everyone has a smile and the weather is fabulous. Arriving here was amazing...we flew through mountains and backtracked....no wonder it took the Spaniards so long to find it.
The team is fun and represents east and west...tomorrow we begin the trek...hope we are all feeling better. More later.
