Greatfully, we arrived back in Lima two days ago. Cuzco was fun and the views amazing, but was too high and the alltitude was making us sick. First Travis with a bad flu that kept him awake and looking for toothpaste (of all things!) at four in the morning. Then mom had some bad guacamole and was sick in the night. I had my share next. A very bad stomach ache and a pounding head. Dad also had troubles breathing properly fromthe alltitude. We all got something, except Katie and Derek. But back at sea level now and every one's almost better.
Yesterday we went to a mall that is built into the cliff side! They had a Tony Romas above, and a big movie theater in the center. We went and saw Harry Potter 7 with the other four people watching the spanish subtitle film...
Just down the marble staircases at the entrance, there was a giant replica of the Hogwarts castle with a walkthrough "cave" underneath, leading to the entrance of the dubbed show. Also the food that you got there was amazing and SOOOO cheap! They had big tubs of popcorn=one for 6 soles (about two dollars), giant paintcan pops=3 soles each ($1.50 about) and all kinds of candies and chocolate bars...YUM!
The movie was great. We also went to the beach and played in the water a bit. Where the water is mostly clean, the beach is all rocks and pieces of broken glass. But where the sand is the water isn't all that clean... We first went to the rocky beach and stuck ourfeet in the slightly cold water and then walked up to the sand anf chased the water there. A pretty fun time, we had there.
I am missing my friends and family back home! :( wishing you were with me!! But still having an incredible time and knowing your enjoying math! haha :)
