April 29 - May 1: Colca Canyon
Hiked down into Colca Canyon. Deeper than the Grand Canyon but not cut as dramatically - there are little villages located in the canyon walls. Lost the trail for a little while and ended up scrambling along the wall. Nice pool at the bottom to soak those sore feet.

April 14 - 28: Cusco
Back in Cusco, I actually remember the cobble streets and the plaza area. This time around I explored the city more and the surrounding sacred valley.
I think two weeks is the longest I´ve ever stayed in one place this whole trip. Studied spanish (yes, at the end of my trip) and stayed with a family. (Got home-made, Peruvian meals every day!) The family was great - the grown children still live at home plus one kid´s husband and baby, two other students, and a kid from the country. The only problem was that they seemed to think that I understood what they were saying.
