There are some really dramatic clouds and quickly changing weather in Cusco. There would be bright sun and then dark clouds, but it hasn't rained yet.
The flight from Lima was only about an hour but we had a really bumpy landing and it made me feel sick. 4 hours later I'm finally starting to feel better, thankfully. They told us not to eat much for dinner because 5/6 hours after arriving the altitude starts to hit you and about 50% of people get sick. (Hope i don't!) We drank some coca tea, which is supposed to help you adjust. It tasted like normal tea and I didn't notice feeling any different.
I was admiring these big fluffy/fuzzy alpaca hats that they sell here (don't worry I'll get a picture of one before I leave) and then my dad ordered alpaca for dinner (and lunch today) and it made me sad. How can you eat this super fluffy animal??! I guess I'm just a picky eater and kind of grossed out by meat. We walked through this market and they has whole pigs hanging and cow eye balls and faces and I could barely even walk by all that. I wish I hadn't gone in there! I know I'm a wimp. And I really don't want to eat guinne pig or fluffy alpacas while I'm here, even though I know I'm supposed to try it. Meh. I'll just stick to trying the local coffee, which is supposed to be delicious.
