Sorry to my fans
For taking so long to get something posted on here but the internet has been real bad and I have also been quite busy since I signed up for a package tour here in Cusco. As far as pics no place has the software compatible so when I get my computer shortley I will not have the same problem and I will relay all of them to you guys. SO to make this easier for me I'm going to it by days and actually I'm not because I just asked and the lady said she closes in 5 minutes here. Damn, well short summary of Peru, people are real short here and I am a giant. First day in Cusco the lady tells me that she hopes I can adjust quickly and my dumb ass had no idea that I was landing 12,000 ft above sea level which does have an affect on you body. I had headaches, troubles catching my breath, and it was so bad I woke up in the monring and couldn't sleep for another two hours because of my headache. I'll explain the city tour more later that I took but I learned soo much and the city is extremely poor. I thought people in Minnesota were hustlers but these people are extreme hustlers and sell everything and go from one job to the next. Even the kids are not afraid to ask for anything. Picture Picture, payme. Hola Buenos Dias, dame un caramel. Its kind of funny to see and I have some great pics of the locals who wear colorful clothes and exotic hats and skirts, carry their kids on their back, or the men carry like 150 lbs of things. Macchu Pichu was cool, I explain more later I'm getting the shooo. So everyone I have one more full day in cusco and then lima for a night and then I meet up with the fam in LA. Sorry its so short but I will write a lengthy one tomorrow.

Hi James, your October 1st blog left me speechless and in ahh. It's so facinating to hear about the Quesua people, the history of the Incas,etc. from someone who's experiencing it vs. some of the school book we had to read. It's also great that you shared the fact the the outside "world" knows more about or should I say, care to know about the Americans ways, and news! Sounds like the Macchu Pichu mountains was also very breathe taken. So are you going to ask for rice and beans when you get home (smile). Glad you are trying different food. I was also trying to remember if you liked history in school because you brought some of what you heard of and blend it with what you are sharing with us about these historic culture. I am so glad to hear also that some of your experience now and the ones you will gain later will help you be a better person (not a man). You are already a man, you are just coming into "your own" man! I love that you will be staying in Austrilia for a while. More knowledge, more true life experience and new friendship, wow! Miss you, Auntie Carol
