Cusco Cusco Cusco

Update time. I have made it to Cusco at last. After spending a week in the sun in Buenos Aires, Cusco is quite a shock. It's COLD, and it supposed to be the middle of summer. I seem to have arrived in the middle of some kind of festival. I'm not sure exactly what it is meant to be. But as far as I can tell it's a month long water fight. Every where you go kids are running around with water balloons. It's dangerous walking down the street. This morning I walked past a bunch of young girls who decided I was a good target, luckily they missed. I don't want to end up wet in this cold. Did I mention it was COLD ?

Cusco hasn't changed much since I was here last, it's a bit quieter but it is the off season for tourists. Strangely I have only been offered drugs once in three days, not that I want any of course. But last time I was here I couldn't walk down the street with out getting offered at least a half a dozen times. I guess that is an improvement. Oh yeah, there is also a new pub opening up that brews there own beer! I walked past the other day and saw all the fermentation gear going in. I am going to have to go and check it out when it's open.

Other than that not much else to report. I start my course on Monday, I'll let you all know how that goes.

Cheers
Zac
