Day: 414 Since our (primarly mine) forward planning skills are slightly lacking, today for our train ride back down the mountain to Cusco we had to take the pricier ¨Vistadome Class¨ train, complete with clear ceiling and a snack which included a very small sandwich, a cookie, a tiny cheesecake tart, and a cup [...]
Day: 413 With the goal of making our Macchu Pichu day slightly different from everyone elses we have seen, Felicia got the great idea of bringing along a friend with a similar name to make it fully enjoyable. We were up on the ruins by a little after 6am and enjoyed about 15 minutes of [...]

Day: 406 After my morning drug routine to try to keep myself alive, Felicia and I were headed down into town to see what we could find for the day since we were feeling better now. First things first, I hit up the local pelequeria for a $1 haircut where the woman went as far [...]
Day: 405 We spent the relaxed day wandering the crowded streets of Copacabana, as all the locals packed up their festival outfits and packed up to travel back to their homes surrounding area.
