First, a quick update from last night. I tried alpaca in a restaurant. It was okay but kind of dry. Could have used some gravy. Today, Sadie and I met early in the morning, but first, I started my day with breakfast (bread, marmalade, cheese, and coffee) and met a Bolivian girl who I got to practice my Spanish with, since she knew no English! ¨Next, I got a tourist ticket and we went to Temple of the Sun, also known as Qorikancha. Lots of the spellings of ruins and such are in Quechua, which is the indiginous language spoken here, and apparently it has lots of Q´s in it!

Oh, there is sooo much to see in Italy... I don`t know where are you headed (which city) but in Rome, you need to see the Forum Romanum (the very old Rome) and the Victor Emanuel memorial (big, white building like). They are incredible! And of course, the Fontana of Trevi (fountain) and try some Italian pizza! It is the very best for sure! I hope you get to see Venice as well, it is truly beautiful and breathtaking! Florence is also great, so much to see there too! Statue of David, Medici Library and so on... OH, I feel like I am 16 yrs old again!
