Chillin in Cusco

After our week trip through the Sacred Valley we were ready for some rest and relaxation.

We kicked back at our friend Kris´s apartment while he was off with Doug and Kevin trekking around the Andes. We had our first Peruvian Ceviche...yum! It was time to stop and buy some art supplies. The kids made masks out of old cereal boxes. These particular masks were of giraffes. We got to know the neighborhood quite well. The best find was this awesome playground just a few blocks away. It had a 3 story dragon slide and 2 two story snake slides! It also had a closed in trampoline that was a big hit. We frequented this park several times.

This was a great week to watch some bad TV, do our laundry in a real washing machine, and get some reading in. Amy Porier asked me what we might do in Peru before I left. I told her I imagine we´ll get up, drink some coffee, and just enjoy the days with our kids. That is exactly what we did that week.

We ended our stay in Cusco with quite a Ceviche lunch with Kris, Doug, and Kevin. Justin pulled an all nighter and ran around the city with the boys that night and we were off on an 8 hour bus trip to Puno (Peruvian port on Lake Titicaca).
