10/25/14 Party like a rockstar

Today two other volunteers (Kiva and Hannah) and I bought this tourist ticket that gets you into all sorts of different ruins, museums, and activities. It only lasts for 10 days, so its going to be a busy week. Today we started out with a trek up to the Cusco ruins - Saksaywaman and Cristo Blanco. It was a bit of the trek, but it felt good once we got to the top. There were lots of school groups there which I thought was interesting. Thinking back to my school field trips...farms and oh yeah, more farms. They were nothing compared to a trip like this! I was feeling jealous of the kids. We made our way down after doing some exploring and checked into our hostel - Wild Rover. We relaxed a bit then met up with the rest of the volunteers for our volunteer social for the week. This week was salsa lessons. I had already done some lessons so I "kind of" knew what I was doing. It was fun but with a lack of male partners was a little tricky. After our lessons we hit the town... boy do they know how to party. Woof. We made our way around the bars and discotecas and had a blast. It was a late night thats for sure. Met some awesome people and made some plans for halloween.
