Cusco, Peru
After a tremendous going away party at Michael and Allyson´s Flamingo Park hideway on Saturday, which lasted well into the wee hours, followed up by a full day of last minute packing and a 2 a.m. Monday flight on Lan Peru, it´s been a busy three days. Meghan and I finally got to our hostel in Cusco around 1 p.m. and immediately collapsed for some much needed sleep. We went out to dinner tonight on the main square in Cusco, the ancient capital city of the Inca, and we are planning a trip tomorrow into the Sacred Valley to visit the ruins at Ollantaytambo and perhaps spend the night in that town. I have been especialy looking forward to the Peru leg of our trip because it is not often that I have the honor to guide Meghan around a foreign country. I was in this area last year with Mike, an old friend from my Lakeland Ledger days, as part of a three-day trek through the Lares Valley to Machu Picchu. That was an amazing adventure too. Anyway, on to Ollantaytambo....

Did you tell Meghan you got lost for 12 hours on your previous trip? Bring lots of bread crumbs!
glad you made it intact, no doubt the anesthetic effect of late partying eased the long journey. andale!
p.s. a copy editing note: isn't it spelled cuZco?
Hi Lona -
Excellent question on the s vs. z. We decided to go with the spelling that seems to prevail in our British guidebooks, and much of Cusco, but we have not established blog style on this yet. Since descending to a lower altitude where I can think more clearly, I am leaning toward Cuzco. More on this later. Also, now we´re doing datelines but I can´t find the m dash on the Spanish keyboard. Sorry, copy desk!
