More Traveling...

Yesterday we spent the day touring more of Cuzco. It really is a beautiful city and the people are just as nice. We took a cab to Cristo Blanco and then back down to Plaza de San Blas. It had a really nice waterfall and some really cool art work! From here we went and toured the coca museum. It was very interesting and we learned so much! Peru is one of the largest coca producers in South America. They use coca leaves for all types of medicinal purposes and they really swear by it. A ton of Peruvians walk around chewing on coca leaves...they kind of tastes like alfalfa to me. 




We then walked back down to Plaza de Armas and had lunch at Inka Grill, which is a very yummy place to eat! Then we soaked up the sun on a bench in the plaza. It was very peaceful and relaxing. At night we packed our bags and got ready for our flight this morning.

Today all we did was travel. We got to the airport in Cuzco at about 7:30 AM to find out our flight at 10 AM was cancelled and they had put us on an earlier flight. Talk about good customer service. We flew from Cuzco to Lima, had about a two hour layover, where we caught some lunch and got stamped out of the country. From Lima we flew to Buenos Aires and arrived at about 8:00 PM. We took it really easy and checked into our hotel and then went and got some dinner. 

Tomorrow we are taking the bus to Iguazu and will be back in Buenos Aires on the 8th! Until next time!
