Day 1 Comments from Students

Hello Mom and Dad I am having a good time. Today I felt a little sick, but now I am feeling very well. The lunch was delicious today. I went to the Sacred Valley and now we are going to start ceramics. I miss you!

Hola!
Llegue a Cuzco muy bien. Aprendi algunos trucos para no tener mal de altura; cuando llegue se los digo. Como estan mis hermanos? Fuimos a un hotel en el Valle Sagrado, esta bonito, aunque no es tan moderno. Ya fuimos a Ollantaytambo en donde tome unas fotos. Me esta encantando este viaje: ojala pudieran estar aqui. Los veo el viernes.

Hi Mommy and Papa,
Cuzco has been fun so far but I was very tired. At lunch I was going to get some food when I felt dizzy. I’m better now and I’m doing fine. We went to Ollantaytambo and saw al these ruins it was fun but there was a lot of stairs to climb. I’m now on the bus going to our hotel. My roommates are Gyliane and Sarah and I’m so glad about that. I’ve been having a lot of fun. Thank you for letting me come to Cuzco and I miss you.
Love,
Desi I

Dear Mami,
Today we went to Ollantaytambo. It is a historical site where the Incas used to live. I learned a lot. When we got off the plane I felt really sick. Afterwards though both Desiree and Rachel had to be put on oxygen masks. I have not had any big trouble yet except a small headache. I took my soroche pills and I felt fine. I gave my pills to the nurse and I feel great. I drank 3 cups of mate de coca already. We went on a 45 min. walk and hardly anyone could breath. I am now on the bus. All I have is a small headache, but other than that I feel great. I hope that you and Ilo are doing good and I will call you when I am at the Hotel. My roommate is Rachel. We are one of the doubles.

Hi Mom and Dad. It’s me, Josie, and so far I am doing okay but I have a little of a stomachache. I am taking lots of pictures of everything . Cusco is so pretty I love it. On Tuesday we are taking a train to Machu Picchu. Charlotte and Antonella are my roommates. I miss you a lot and I hope you are having fun in Lima. We stuck out in the airport and we did everything on our own. We had to hold our tickets and everything. Well I have to go. I am on the bus. Tell Ellie and Jamie hi. I would love to talk to you later. Bye.

Hola pa y ma,
En el aeropuerto nos chequearon altoque pero en el avion me di cuenta que me toco Antonela a la derecha y Alessia a la izquierda. El vuelo estuvo comodo y llegamos a Cusco. Estaba bien y tomamos un bus al hotel que queda en el valle sagrado. Mi cuarto es Juandi yo y Andres. Descansamos un toque y fuimos a almorzar a un restaurant wenaso y afuerita abia una tienda y me compre un chullo a 5 lucas. Me voy a comprar 2 mas, uno pa mi y otro pa Giacomo. Despues de almorzar fuimos a Ollantaytambo y ahi me vino el soroche. Era bajo el soroche pero el doc me dio alcol a oler y me paso un pocoo, la miss Mincha me dio pastillas y me paso. Mañana nos vamos a Machu Picchu y ya quiero ir, toy desesperado.
Weno chau,
Vincenzo
