soo the beach ended up being the perfect addition to our time in peru. the second day was a little shorter than the first but we still got plenty of stares and sun. there was actually an earthquake too but it was a baby one. still cool. we all took showers after the beach and ate some amazing roasted chicken then headed to the bus station to catch a bus to arequipa to then get our bus to cusco. interesting story...
when we arrived to the station around 3:30 we had missed every bus by then and the only ones available were at 5:40 and later. our bus in arequipa to get us back to cusco left at 8:30 so we had to get going. at about 7:40 we´re rounding a huge mountain and on the other side there is a line of cars standing completely still in a line about 100 cars long. we all freak out. you still couldn´t see the city from there. time´s flying by and we´re still nowhere close. finally around 8:15 we´re in the city but still no sight of the station. the bus pulls into the station at 8:24. libby and i are sprinting to the check-in desk only to find out that we have to have a confirmation code that we of course don´t have. after all is said and done we´re getting on a bus full of annoyed people at 8:40. soooo close. we attempted sleep and arrived in cusco around 6:30 this morning.
it´s a rainy icky day and doesn´t feel much like my birthday... we are however going to eat at ulrike´s with the girls from calca and go out in cusco tonight so hopefully that will make up for the gloomy weather. i can´t wait to be home but so sad to leave at the same time. i went by the kindergarten one last time today and gave out jackets to all of the little kids. they´re brown and fuzzy and the kids looked like little bear cubs running around today. i´ll miss them intensely.
anyways, thanks for the birthday wishes today! hopefully we´ll celebrate more this weekend but for now wish me luck with the peruvians :) 3 days...
