hellbent hikers homers home

All of our worrying about the kids is over. They're all here in Cuzco now with cookie and dave rolling in last nite at 11 but we didnt meet them until the next morning.  We met in a crowd of 5000 people celebrating the Cusquenas festival.  Leave it to the power of the Wayanaruru bean to hook us up.Aly and phil came in late last nite.  All I heard was a knock on our door and a tiny voice saying "Angela, Amigoes are here." Got up and looked over the balcony only to see two tired but safe travellers who we had worried about for most of the day. Finally this intrepid group of weary adventurers have come together to conquer the famous Inca Trail which will lead all of us up to the lost city of Machu Picchu.  We're a tough bunch of Canadians that can take anything the Peruvians can throw at us plus a whole lot more.  Shity buses{aka...camino de la Diablo}, road blocks, no hot water, altitude issues...give it your best shot South America!!
