After a long two days of travel, we finally made it up to Aguas Calientes. It's absolutely beautiful here. We haven't ventured too much with the food yet but guinea pig is a standard typical meal so we'll be trying that soon. Alpaca is very common as well. The hot springs were not taken care of as nice as we might find in the States but the warmth felt great after hiking around Machu Picchu. We've met lots of great people including a guide who lives in Cuzco and is willing to show us around. We may be able to have him take us to Lake Titicaca one weekend. There are tons of foreigners around here: Aussies, Americans, Italians, Brits...it's great. Even the locals are extremely nice and hospitable. We couldn't have asked for a better frist few days here in Peru. Stay tuned for my Machu Picchu experience!

What a great trip you're having. As an explorer and a spiritualist I don't think I could have happened upon a better site today.
I hope that including you in the newest edition of A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere will bring you a bigger audience to follow your travels.
Have a great time...and travel safely.
Cheers!
