Still haven´d tried the guinea pig yet Tara
I did stop and get some alpaca skewers last night from a woman grilling them on the street. I don´t normally eat street food, but I watched how she grilled and felt safe. They were awesome. Still hunting for the guinea pig. Can´t wait to see you tomorrow.

Thanks for the amazing photos
You are making me want to shake off my comfort zone and dip my foot into Peru! Can't wait to see which Brendan will enlighten us next:)

Thank you KAshmere
I love that you just made me laugh out loud for real in an internet storefront here in Aguas Calientes. Travel Brendan was in charge today, and when I looked at the mountain he made me climb, I was amazed that we did it. Pics and blog to follow tonight! Thank you for the comment.

Thank you Jackie
I am glad cranky Brendan was put away as well. I spoke of you yesterday when someone had forgotten her camera, so I took pictures of she and her husband and promised to email so nice ones. I love traveling like this and meeting wonderful people such as yourself. Wish you were here too.

Try these places...
If you are trying to find the best ceviche places in Cusco, try "Machitos," "Cangrejos de Piura," or "Muelle del Toño"

Airport Friend
Hey Brendan, Nice to meet you in the airport - great blog by the way! Sorry I brought back the supposedly stranded german guy to the starbucks - hopefully he was telling the truth - seems to be quite a bit of these germans buys with money problems these days... Have a great trip in Peru and especially interested to hear about your forthcoming trips to Ica and Nazca! Sincerely, Tim Marti

I'm glad to read that the food has been delicious so far -- ceviche, yummmm! Can't wait to hear your opinion on guinea pigs (you've kind of locked yourself into this now, I hope you realize) and am loving your Peruvian hat -- can't wait to see you in dressed in an entire Peruvian getup. :)

Ceviched
Thanks Michelle. I thought I was rocking the Peruvian look. I am not sure I will have time to get some guinea pig. I thought it was common all over Peru, but was told it is more local. Will keep an eye out for the tasty grilled rodent! The ceviche was awesome. I know I will be eating more of that.

Great views!
Hi B, Glad to hear you are back on your feet and ready to travel. The pictures so far have been amazing. The one with you in the hat with the alpaca made me think of you helping on the farm. Wait.....you didn't help on the farm, Ha Ha! Can't believe how pretty it looks there and I share your love of ruins. As an added bonus you even ate at a buffet, now, thats my kind of trip! Keep the pics and blog coming and I will try to get mom and dad down this weekend to catch up on it. Later T

Oh Ted, You Kidder
Not only was I ready to work on the farm yesterday with the alpaca, but I was ready to do it in style. lol. I have been very impressed with how beautiful it is here. Today was a travel day with lots of rain. I am at an internet cafe now on a public computer, but all is well. Thanks for the comment.

Hotel mail
I remember we all were fascinated by the mail slot. You could drop your postcards into the slot on any floor and it traveled down to the first floor. I have a picture of that somewhere! lol Funny what amazed us back then!

Hotel Mail Slot
Deb, it is so funny that you wrote that. I was waiting for some people in a hotel lobby this afternoon, and thought of that mail slot. It was just the most incredible thing I thought. Ah, I am still amazed by some of the easiest things I guess.

Isn't it great when the Diamox starts working?
Great photos! So many memories are flooding back. The sacred valley is beautiful. The Pisac market is very famous. I'm not a big fan of rodents so I didn't care a thing about the guinea pigs...for some reason some people find them cute and you seem to be one. Yuck, makes my skin crawl. Glad it brought back some pleasant memories for you. I remember when we walked into a local home and there were nearly a hundred of them running around. Needless to say I got out of that house quickly. Next time we get together we will have to open a bottle of wine and share rodent stories. I had a small taste of it in a stew while we were there but honestly the piece I consumed was microscopic. You can wear the scarf when you go back to Ohio to visit. Thanks for the heads up that you will be off the grid. We will not call the Peruvian government to search for you! Happy travels.

I'll Bet You Like Mickey Mouse and He Is A Rodent
Thanks for the message. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Sacred Valley. I am glad the Diamox is working, but for a while thought I was having a stroke when my hands and feet wouldn't quit tingling. Duh, read the side effects BEFORE taking the med Brendan. Wine and rodent stories is a deal. It sounds great! And yes, I thought I should put that in there since I worried some people when I stopped blogging in BA and had my melt down.

Oh my, I know those headaches! Not a pleasant way to start but I've read ahead and see you have recovered nicely and making your way through the sacred valley. Be sure to try all the salty food of Peru...lol. Come to think of it, maybe the salt helps with the altitude? Have a wonderful trip Brendan!

I think it was a perfect storm of fatigue, caffeine deprivation and the altitude. I didn't think about salt, but that is a great idea. I need to go back and read your Peru blogs again. I'm sure I will get some good ideas. Take care. B

The first day of a vacation is usually a rough one, especially after an over night flight. I always schedule and extra day in my landing city to allow for the most undesirable "Wallow Brendan" where I feel crappy, wallow in self pity and second guess my desire to travel. By the next day he has been beaten into submission by one of my other selves and off we all go to have the most wonderful time. Thank you so much for the note.

Fine adventures!
How great that you've adjusted to the altitude and are having adventures with great people! Wise to get out of Cusco and into the countryside with the alpacas and guinea pigs--your photos are very evacative! And you are an adventurous eater if you'll eat those adorable little guineas--I'm going for the purple potatoes. See you on Saturday--I'm off to Copacabana this afternoon.
