Lima & Cuzco

Elise and me at Tambo Machay, just outside Cuzco

Here is a summary and some pictures from my trip to Peru, May 27 - June 10. I had to post it in three different parts.

Lima

I traveled from Antofagasta to Lima with Heather and Lindsey. We took an overnight bus to Arica with Manuel, and then spent the day shopping and eating with him and his family. From Arica we crossed the border into Tacna, Peru, and flew from there to Lima. I met Elise in the Lima airport and the four of us went to Nicole and Miguel's beautiful apartment. We spent two great days sightseeing and shopping with Nicole and her future mother-in-law, Gladys.

Cuzco
From Lima, Elise and I flew to Cuzco. We had about two days to eat delicious food, visit the ruins outside the city, and get ready for our trek. I wish we had had more time there.
