I´ve arrived in one piece!

Hello dear readers,
I arrived safely with all my luggage in Cuzco, Peru at 7.05am local time. Baggage claim was a jiff, and a delightful young man named Daniel (he got a kick outta my last name) was waiting for me holding a sign with my name on it when i exited the airport. He then drove me to the villa in the Plaza de Armas (gov´t square) to the refurbed colonial mansion i´m staying at. it´s just wonderful and has a rustic charm to it. i took a few pics on the taxi ride to the villa,and will upload when i have a chance. cuzco is an interesting city, VERY different from california. i drove by a feral llama eating grass...haha. cuzco has a lot of dogs too. also, I DID need my spanish! praise be that i can still remember a sufficient amount to converse. Daniel didnt know any english, and thankfully i was able to understand him about 90% of the time. we had a wonderful chat about the dancing that will happen in the square in a few days.
ok, im going to finish my cocoa tea and take a nap! adios!
over and out.
