After my family FINALLY made it to Buenos Aires saturday afternoon (after their flight was delayed 4+ hours), I took them to the Recoleta Feria on Sunday. We spent most of the afternoon browsing the booths and braving the cold. Luckily, I had already made reservations for all of us at La Cabrera, the go-to steak house BsAs. 2 bottles of wine + incredible steak + more food than we could finish (but we did) = one amazing Argentine dinner. Monday we checked out of our hotel at 3:30 a.m. (i was dyinggg) and after a 5 hour flight (and a small detour to Lima), finally made it to Cusco, Peru. Tuesday, we did a tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We got to see the nearby cities of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo, had a fun buffet lunch at a peruvian restaurant, and ended the day-long tour by climbing 200+ steps of an Incan ruin. The altitude here is so different, it's super easy to get light-headed and queasy. We were all so worn out by the end of the tour, we grabbed a quick dinner at a nearby pizzería and made our way back to our hotel. This morning, we took the tren from Cusco to Aguas Calientes. It was a beautiful, scenic train ride that lasted about 3 hours, and amazingly, our hotel is ride near the train stop. There are lots of cute little markets along hte street and small little restaurants, one of which we grabbed lunch in earlier. Tomorrow, we're going to hike up to Machu Picchu (POR FIN!) and then relax in the hot water springs (for which the city is named) for a nice end to the day. Can't wait!
