Short version: I am loving this trip, and loving this country.

We flew into Lima from San Francisco and headed out early the next morning for Cusco, a mountain town that reminds me of Boulder(Colorado) , Granada (Spain) and Lisbon (Portugal) ans yet that is totally unique and of itself.

Now we´re outside of Urubamba, in the Sacred Valley, staying in a guest house, doing yoga, sight-seeing and hiking. Later this week, we head to Manchu Picchu.

The folks on the yoga trip are all interesting, and it is great to step back from everyday life to have new things to think abou´--and more time for physical activity.

Heading back outside now to check out the Incan ruins--have to work off the lomo saltado and jugo de papaya.
