On to Cusco

  So I get off the plane and I'm immediately met by three people from the Hotel Monasterio who whisk me to the hotel.  I'm thinking, "This is going to be good!"  And boy is it.  This fabulous hotel was originally a monastery.  I'm led to a lovely table to sign in - I took the photo at the left from my signing spot.  A cup of delicious coca tea arrives.  My room is ancient and gorgeous with amenities fit for a queen.  Yes, I'm really liking it.  Breakfast is served off the courtyard below and has uber, wonderful eatables - maybe better than Bangkok.
  The only tiny problem is that it's very difficult to breathe at 11K feet.  So I'm huffing and puffing, have headaches, and little energy.  But who cares!

 I'm in the lap of luxury and a beautiful city.
  Tomorrow I check things out.  Of course I have the wrong shoes for the cobblestones (you know, always beauty before comfort) so my first stop will be at the local shoe shop for sneakers.  Comfort I've decided is a must now.

Hasta luego.
Todos te amo.
