June 16, Tuesday - Cusco

Spent today resting (honestly!) and getting organized for our trip to the jungle tomorrow. We're still feeling the effects of living at this high altitude, and right now, we can hardly wait to get ourselves down to sea level again - where we can breathe easily, eat normally, and have lots of energy to spare!

As always, we "walked the town" again. Just cannot sit still!
Photographed Kindergarten children, all dressed up in their various Andean costumes, as they performed in the Winter Solstice dancing competitions in the Plaza d'Armas. The Andean dances chosen were rather simple, yet pleasing, as the children wove themselves to and fro to the music. Bruce and I are really enjoying these precious glimpses into the Peruvian culture, and are pleased that we are in Cusco at this time of the year.

Ate lightly at dinner. Bruce and I started taking our Malarone tablets for malaria protection, and went to bed early - dreaming about tomorrow!
