"In transit. If two sweeter words exist in the English language, I have yet to hear them. Suspended between coming and going, neither here nor there, my mind slows, and [...] I achieve something approaching calm."

todavia, no.

This past week has been amazing.  I have enjoyed everything about it!  My week in the sacred valley was full of hikes, good food, hot showers and the best group of people I could have possibly asked for.  Since we´ve been back in Cusco, we spend all day together and then meet at 7 in front of McDonalds to go to dinner--not to McDonalds, but after we all tried cuy, we went there.  Traveling around Cusco has been an adventure in itself.  When you want to go somewhere, you just flag down a bus and get on. This is essentially hitch hiking, but safe.  I have been stuffed on many buses and combis the past couple of days, trying to see as much as possible before I leave.  My mom asked me if I am ready to go home--I still don´t feel like I am, but I am having dreams about Lauren and Lily and the first day of school.  So I guess my brain is beginning to prepare.  I still have a list of things that I want to do here.  However, I still do not want a massage.  And I am hiking up this mountain, I do not want a taxi.  Todavia, no.
