Cusco, Peru

Well, I am back from a jungle trip in Manu National Park. It was quite a good trip with ten different species of monkeys being seen. It also had a hike through the jungle where I thought all of the jungle wanted to eat us and transform us into biomass. The flies kept coming up and biting us as if asking, Are you dead yet? In addition, the trial was overgrown with rain forest and even the groomed part was hard to navigate. On the way back to Cusco we saw cloud forest which is stunning. I don´t know of any actual cloud forest in the states so that was a treat to see. We have arrived back in Cusco and are planning what to do next. Machu Picchu is on the docket but there may be other options too. Stay tuned to see what unfolds.

I also may be on irc tonight if any of you are around. Maybe 8 or 9 tonight. Slashnet, channel travelmark.

Hope all you are well.
