(Don't) Take Me Higher

While the weather in Lima was not bad, it was overcast a lot and I'm happy to see the sun.  The short plane ride to Cusco is amazing with views of terraced mountains and jagged, snow-covered peaks.  Really beautiful to behold.  Met a very nice couple from Orange County (she was Ecuadorian) and exchanged emails, etc.  Upon disembarking the plane, I did feel a bit lightheaded and had a slight headache, but not unmanageable.  However, the hostel I'm staying in has an unlimited supply of hot water and mate de coca teabags.  It works!  Headache gone and feeling fine.  The pictures are from the taxi on the way here and the view from my room of the courtyard.
