Welcome to Peru*


From Copacabana, Bolivia we pushed on into Cuzco, Peru. Cuzco is a city in Peru from where it is easy to get to a lot of nearby Inca ruins. Cuzco was our base from which we did some white water rafting, and then started trekking along the Inca Trail for 4 days to reach Machu Pichu. The first day we hiked 10 km along the river before setting up camp for the night. They were having a celebration on Saturday night where we camped, where we watched a 5 v 5 soccer tournment on concrete, listened to a small band play while people danced, and drank moonshine poured out of a gasoline container. More on the Inca Trail and Machu Pichu in a later post.

Also, if anyone has read any good books lately (long books too), I´m taking recomendations for reading materials before I head off to Australia or New Zealand, you can just email me with them directly.

Kite Runner is good. It's fiction.

Also, my friend from UNC wrote a fiction book called "Shug", it's good as well.

"1491" is a great book, particularly since you are in the area and visiting the subject matter.

How would you like my CFA exam study books? A good 6-months worth of reading material right there if you like... :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you both!! (do they have turkeys there and do they name them of another sad little country?)
