In Cusco

Hey,
So after rushing desperately for the last few days to photocopy all the things i could possibly ever need, I am now finally essentially all done and enjoying Cusco (or Cuzco, or Qus´co however you like to spell Quechua words). It´s incredibly beautiful. I just arrived today and am working on developing the schedule for the next few weekends. We have essentially everything planned. Our main thing is that we are going whitewater rafting down the sacred valley for two days (it is essentially impossible to do the Inca trail without bookng two months in advance apparently, at least in this season) and then going to machupichu and staying there for a night! I am extremely psyched. I will also be taking a bunch of city tours in between. And in a few minutes we´ll be heading up to Huazao (think "wassup" to remember the name), a town for curanderos here in Cusco. I am looking forward to witnessing some hoja de coca reading sessions and see how the whole process goes. I know that these curanderos are probably are used to tourists and will make a whole show of it, but i´ll have to take what I can get. Well I need to head out right now. Later I will right more when I find a computer with a decent keyboard (the keys stick BADLY in the one in this café).

Chao.
