Discotecca's, Pisac, and Cappuccinos

Cusco and Pisac, Peru

Sorry! I have a lot of catching up to do for you guys!

 I went out to the discotecca on Valentine's Day and I had one of the most fun nights dancing I have ever had. I love to dance and dancing in South America is completely different than in the United States. Most of the guys know at least basic dance moves and it is so fun. Jacy and I were dancing salsa and even if I wasn't interested in the guy it was so much fun being spun around and dancing to Latin music. It really was the best Valentines day.

      On Friday morning I went back to the San Pedro Mercado and got fresh juice from one of the juice stands which was very delicious and perfect because I was feeling a little under the weather. The line up of juice stands is really cool and a nice stop to make in Cusco. Later that day, Jacy and I visited a Museum and enjoyed Cappuccino's in a cafe with a view of Plaza de Armas.

   On Saturday, Jacy and I visited Pisac, which is a small town about an hour away from Cusco. It is in an extremely pretty location and there is a mercado there that we visited and ate lunch. I really enjoy driving around Peru, even in long bus rides because Peru is really a very beautiful country throughout.

   After, Jacy and I went dancing with my roommates from Chile and it was also a very fun night. I have become close with my roommates and they are really funny and I plan to keep in touch with them. I really love staying at hostels (at least the good ones) because I think it instantly makes you part of a community and it makes it so easy to meet people. I stayed at the same hostel in Mancora and Cusco and they always had activities going on and I even became friends with the staff (I was in Cusco for a long time... ).

The next morning I left bright and early for Machu Picchu!
