A brief update from the navel of the world
Cusco is beautiful. The incas called it the navel of the world, and its name means thus. I have been here for only 4 days now, and feel quite at home I must say. After a good night´s rest things started looking brighter. The classes I am taking are going quite well, and it is truly shocking indeed how quickly my spanish is improving. The private lessons are certainly helping, particularly as far as conversation goes. I think next week I will travel with the Amauta school to the jungle, and attend classes there for a week. I have had a chance to explore Cusco´s markets, and have already successfully shopped for dinner ingredients there in the markets. The people who are going to classes here are truly interesting, and the variety of cultures represented is astounding and enriching. I am unsure as yet where I will go after my 4 weeks here, but I have some time still to decide how to travel the rest of Peru. Hasta luego.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying both the pictures and the narrative of your trip! Keep up the good work, Sweetie Pie!

Rainy Sunday morning gives me time to catch up on email and read your entire blog. What a great gift you have given us in word and pictures. Your beauty comes through your comments, your positive attitude and appreciation of each new adventure. I am so glad you take the time to blog and your dad shared the site with Voices. I look forward to hearing your Spanish and seeing your artwork. Your pictures are so beautiful. I look forward to singing with you before too long but until then I wish for you and Spencer great joy, peace and safe travels. Blessings to you both. Love, Marty
