I'd like to preface this blog entry with an apology if everything seems to be written in cliches or superlatives. It's hard to describe anyways, besides the fact that we're paying for internet time. So, if you're thinking in your head that I should'nt have graduated with an English degree, please forgive me. Yesterday was the horseback ride in Urubamba which is in the Sacred Valley about an hour away.

Hello all, Here is our first email slash blog entry. Our hostel is nice and has lots of sun and hot water- but we´ll probably downgrade the rest of the nights to save money.
