Finally in Cuzco!!

The plane ride was rather long..
I flew from Chicago to Florida then to Lima. In Lima, i had to stay for about 10 hours in the airport for the next flight  because i got there at night and there are no domestic flights flying at night.
Anyways, i finally got to Cuzco on 5/20 @ 8a.m and i was soooooo excited that i forgot to find my lugguage (on a belt). I got out of the airport and met a person with the sign with my name on it and he took me to my host family's house. Sara Nunez, my beutiful host mom, greeted me with a hug and a warm kiss on my cheek. I immediately loved her and her house is so beautiful. She asked me where my luggages were and then i realized i forgot my luggage!! I had to take a taxi to the airport again to get my stuff. The person who escorted me was laughing because he said i forgot mine coz i was too excited to care about my luggage. haha i just laughed with him.

Because Cuzco is located in high altitude, it was pretty cold. It's like it's expected to snow or something...
I am not very fond of cold weather. It was also pretty cold in the room where i would sleep because they don't have the heater and i would also have to take a cold shower. Anyways, i had to remind myself that i am not here to travel but to really immerse myself in the culture and the reality of Peruvian lives. I know there are people out there who don't even have the luxuries to even have a home. So really, no need to complain. I tried to focus on the positive side. Once again, the family is AMAZING and i was so so thankful that i got to stay with such a wonderful family while i am here in Cuzco.

I went with my host family to La Plaza de Armas to watch a festival which is held every sunday and my host family's daugher, Catelena, marched in the uniform. I already feel like she is my sister, actually my older sister even though she is younger, coz she welcomes me into her home so warmheartedly. Sara wanted to take me on a tour but i was so tired that i told her that i needed some rest.

My volunteering project starts today 5/21 at 2pm. I heard from a previous volunteer that my project is going to be tough, but everything will be alright..=)
