First day in cusco

woke up today at the sound of the hostal manager knocking on our room door at 3 in the moring telling us that our taxi had finally arrived. so we quickly packed up our back packs and jumped in. we made it on to our flight with time to spare. time to sleep we thought, but the sight of the gorgeous ande mountains kept us wide awake, truly breath taking! after we touched down in cusco , peru where we were picked by the hostal bus and taken to the ¨hospedije¨ hostal. where we will be staying for a month to come.after a long long nap we decided to explore the sity square which was full of beautiful churchs and gardens. we took some great photos but i am not sure if we can upload them yet because we have to use an internet cafe which is a bummer cause it truly is beautiful down here! oh well hopefully we can figure it out soon.
anyway sorry for the shortish blog (im using an internet cafe and my time is running up) miss everyone soo much!

we send our love from Ian and the rest of townsend fam

Lima

After a 8 hour plane rife to the city me and the fam stumbled of the plane; grabed our luggage and made our way through a hectic south american airport. That was a mission in itself! So then we grabbed a bus/taxi and jumped in and drove to the ¨Inca Lodge¨ where we are now. BY the time we managed to settle in it was close to 2 oclock so we all decided it was time to get some sleep after the stressful day of taxis,planes and their anxious passengers. The next morning we ate some toast and drank some delicious peruvian coffee. After our quick breakfast we grabbed and went on a exploration of some of this very large city.After grabbing some groceries we headed back to our hostal room tired of walking we ate a beautiful lunch. we met some really neat travelers staying in the same hostal! some have been traveling for more than a year touring everywhere from the UK to southeast asia. they shared some advice and some entertaining traveling stories. later on that day we jumped into another taxi and drove downtown Lima saw an amazingly large and beautiful catholic church. (which we got great photos of but sadly cant upload them untill we reach our next stop in cusco)
Anyway i better call it a night we all have a 3 in the morning wake up call (knock on the door) We all hope everything is going well in Vermont! goodnight.
