Random adventures in the Sacred Valley and Cusco

Hola! I have been living in Cusco for over 3 months, meaning I am just a little over halfway through my volunteer program. Time flies when you´re having fun. When a place becomes like a home away from home, you create daily routines, and not-so-exciting weekend plans, mostly consisting of being a couch potato and watching the lastest DVDs bought off the street and going to the same favorite bars. Needless to say, I won´t bore you with my mundane life. I love living in Peru, but it´s not an exotic adventure every day, so written details won´t really be necessary. Instead, enjoy these pictures. These are the random things I have been up to for the last month and a half.

We helped Mallory and Elise move their English school to a new building in Urubamba.

I think this is a condor.
