After 6 weeks of Arequipa, it's time to hit the road. We left the house tearfully last night around 7. It's always hard to leave after you've all shared awesome adventures together. My favorite student, Luz, was there to see us off as well. It was unexpected but very sweet of her. I think I will miss her the most (blog post on her later).
The altitude is almost 10,000ft here and are spending a couple days here to acclimate. I feel some slight pressure in my head but nothing bad (yet). We'll see how I feel tomorrow. We start a tour called the inca jungle on Saturday which involves a bike ride on day 1, hiking on days 2 and 3, and finally hiking up before the sun rise to Macchu Picchu on day 4. We are hiking 5-7 hours each day. It will be hard but I think it will be worth it.
