Cosco

I arrived in Cuzco (Cosco in the Quechua) and made friends with the performers on the train.  They invited me to come see their performance when we arrived.










The performance involved lighting her outfit on fire!  She was hot anyway, I didn't quite understand why it was needed :-)

After the dance performance, we celebrated with some German backpacking doctors.  There must be something about the medical profession that leads to backpacking.  They were certainly over-represented in my trip.

I met up with Matt Berman and Hung Quan. After months of traveling with friends I met the day before, it was fun to share all my new stories with friends I had know for years!

Hung and Matt are adventurous eaters as well as travelers. Here we see them eating a large rodent! Sometimes I feel OK about being vegetarian :-)

In this photo, we see Matt Berman using his hardened New York City bargaining skills with a extremely disarming Peruvian little girl who hands down was the better bargainer of the lot!

The jet lag finally caught up with Matt!








This is the view from our hostel. Not bad eh?
