Cusco/Sacred Valley- 11:54 PM My alarm went off at 5:30 this morning. Because I went to bed at 9:15, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Getting dressed in the dark wasn't fun but having all my bags packed last night made getting up and ready much easier. Our bags were outside our room ready to be picked up by 5:50. We went to breakfast but all the hot food wasn't out yet. It was weird for us to be some of the first ones there. At 6:30, we met our group do...

Lima- 9:11 PM I woke up at 7 but went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 8. I felt pretty good and I had laid out my clothes last night so I was ready in about 10 minutes. We went down for breakfast that was pretty good, especially the French toast. We got down on the bus around 8:40 but we ended up having to sit in the back because all the seats were filled. A quick survey of the bus told me that the makeup of this group was very different than the prev...

Quito- 10:45 PM Surprisingly, it wasn't that cold when I woke up, even though we didn't have our heater on all night. Mimi was up around 6 to go on a morning walk with a few people. I "slept in" until a little after 7. Mimi took a cold shower because apparently there was something wrong with the heat. I went up to breakfast and she met us up there about 15 minutes later. It was a sit down breakfast with tree tomato juice and rolls to start. Then, we all got cr...

In the air, sitting in first class, over Quito- 6:56 PM I woke up nutlike times during the night. When I woke up at 8:30, I had a horrible headache so I decided to go back to sleep until it went away. I was also having weird dreams that didn't help, either. I set my alarm to go off at 9:30. Mimi had gone to breakfast already so I got dressed and headed down around 9:45. Mimi was there, along with about 10 other group members. I ate some cold pancakes and eggs a...

Baños- 10:58 PM We were supposed to get a wake up knock on our door at 6:30. That never happened so I was happy that I set my alarm for 6:30. I didn't sleep very well. It took me forever to go to sleep and when I did, I had a dream that I had the measles. It could have been because I woke up with even more big bites. We went to breakfast at 7:00 and got on the motor canoes around 7:45. We took the 10 minute ride back to the bus. We loaded up and got on the roa...
