Cavorting in Cusco

7-22

Met up in the plaza with the crew from Salkantay: Jenna, Kevin, Maria, and Sophia.  After the long trek, we decided to go out and get massages.  Massages, though not as cheap as in Asia, were still incredibly cheap.  1 hour was 4 bucks.  We then kind of hung around and walked around Cusco before heading to an Irish pub for happy hour drinks.  After happy hour, we headed out for a very nice meal, in which the Danish girls shared a Cuy (guinea pig) which was indeed better tasting than the Cuy than Felipe and I had shared.

After dinner we headed out to another Irish pub where we had lots of drinks including pisco sours.  Surprisingly none of the Europeans had heard of the Irish Car Bomb dropshots, so I bought a round for everyone.  After we had been at this pub for a while, we headed out to a cool club where we danced until nearly dawn.  It was awesome dancing and included us dancing on top of the bar for quite some time.

7-23

Most of the group was hungover, so we took it slow.  Kevin was maybe the most hungover and he had also lost his phone, wallet, and all his money.  He thought that maybe he was drugged, so he had to stay in Cusco and go to the police to deal with that so he could get help from his travel insurance.  So Maria, Sophia, Jenna, and I headed out and took a bus to Pisaq to visit the fortress and ruins of Pisaq high up on a mountain.  After exploring the ruins we took a bus back to Cusco and had a very tasty last meal together.
