After we said our good byes we started our adventure - and it really was an adventure!! Our flight to Atlanta was delayed for about 1.5 hours - but we made our flight to Lima!! We ran through the Atlanta airport, so we definitely got our exercise!
We were scattered all over the plane. We walked around to see each other but Mrs. McCarthny had to come back to coach to visit us because she got upgraded to first class!
Without our bags we spent the night in a super nice hostel. All the girls were together and the boys were divided into two groups!
In the morning we enjoyed a nice breakfast and a short walk around the block - soooo pretty! We then boarded the bus and went back to the airport and took a plane to Cusco.
An hour bus ride through amazing scenery followed. We drove up a mountain and then back down. The altitude hasn´t affected us, but it is cool to think we are up pretty high - about 9000 ft!
We went straight to a local restaurant and had pretty much the best meal EVER! We started with an ethnic potato dish covered in this green sauce - it had a kick to it. We then ate soup, some of us had beef noodle and some of us had corn soup. The soups were amazing especially the beef! The main course followed and once again - amazing!! Our drinks were bottled water (don´t worry!) and purple corn juice!!
-Emily, Olivia, & Missy!
