Had the day off today, so decided to climb the little hill behind the clinic. We made it 30 feet shy of 13,000 feet! One of the best hikes I've done in my life, besides maybe the Grand Tetons. After the 5 hour hike we were treated to a traditional Peruvian meal provided by some of the local women who work at the clinic. As they say in Athens, "soo goood"! Tomorrow will be the one week mark of my time here in Cusco and I must say there hasn't been a dull moment. I'm picking up new Spanglish everyday thanks to all the folks I'm hanging with including the new guy from Arkansas, Tim (Bill Clinton supporter), who will be here for 6 weeks. Another 6 a.m. wake up for me tomorrow as we travel to a town I can't pronounce but will probably never forget..
Yo, this looks awesome! Mo' mountains = Mo' happy. Hope you are thoroughly exhausted and loving it. Starting Week 2 with Bentley back here and only 1 incident of domestic violence thus far. Got to come hang at the new place when you get back!
