Days In Cuzco

We are quite behind on filling in the details of our trip so far. We haven´t been as successful at loading photos and posting as easily as we did in the states. It is also very difficult to use the internet with impatient children in tow. But we have had a lovely time in Cuzco. We spent about a week at our friend Kris´s apartment. It had great views of the city from his roof top. We just scratched the surface of exploring the center of town. Feeding the birds was the top activity for the kids. That went right along with eating ice cream. Kris took us to ride the neighborhood go carts. That was one of N. most favorite activities. Then we walked up several flights of stairs to the terraced fields and overlooked the whole city. That was our first glimpse. There were many more spectacular views in the following days.

We purchased our tourist tickets for the Sacred Valley and started exploring the Inca ruins. The little T´s have done so well hiking around. We are all so grateful for the Ergo Carrier. It´s been one of those best packed items yet. N. likes to be carried around and we have discovered for safety this is a good thing. We will be exploring the Sacred Valley throughout the next week and plan to be at Machu Picchu by the weekend.

The little T´s get quite a bit of attention. They are getting used to it. Their blue eyes and N´s chubby thighs are often commented on. One thing Team T noticed right away is that this is the land of old school punch bugs (VW cars) We now play escarabajo instead of punch bug. We are always on the look out.
