Our Cuzco adventure begins

Allie and I made it to Cuzco very smoothly. Our private apartment is much better than we expected. The apartment is attached to a family house with volunteers. If we wanted we could get all of our meals there for free and there is also a maid that will wash our clothes... for 5 nuevo sol , which exchanges to 2 dollars. We already have met some really cool people that are volunteering here. The school has salsa lessons every Saturday night, plus there is a salsa club down the street that has lessons every night, so watch out. There was also a part at the school for the TEFL program that was before us, we were able to attend and had free food and drinks! The food is so good here, yesterday for lunch we had chicken and potato soup. The chicken that was in the soup was feet, heart, and I think neck... but we were not sure, it was very good! We have just been exploring the city which is amazing and beautiful.

It's nice your living conditions are 'better than you thought' and the laundry service is available. I like your 'blog' - I can visit anytime I want to and not wait for any phone calls! Love, MOM

You had laundry service cheaper than that at your Mom's.
I wanted to have a beer with you before you left but had air travel problems getting out of Baltimore Thur night.
Safe Travels!
Cade & Devin say "Hi" and "they're where?"
