¡Feliz Navidad!

Chistmas in Cusco this year. I admit, I´m a little homesick during the holidays down here..I find myself recalling past holidays spent round the Christmas tree, tossing presents at Mom, Dad, Brent, and Dayne, listening to Manhiem, and stoking the warm fire, while it snows bright white flakes outside...ahhh famil(y)arities, sniffle. Well, it´s not really that lonely down here ; ) The owners of the hostal we were staying at had plans themselves for the holiday, so they left us the keys to the place and parted for a few days with a "¡Feliz Navidad!". So, Brent and I spent Cristmas eve cruising the markets buying fixins for Christmas dinner, and fun presents for each other. Accompanied by a decorated pine limb- for our Christmas tree, a few big beers, some cheap champagne, a fish dinner with sweet potatoes and pasta, and each other, we were´nt alone.

Christmas day consisted of nothing more than a marathon of Christmas themed movies- dubbed in spanish, hot cocoa, and paneton. Inbetween movies, we planned an excursion for the next two days that would take us out to some ruins and towns in the Cusco region, via moto, two-up.
