Traveling back to Florida

I am currently trying to catch my flight to lima. It was supposed to leave at 940 am but weather apparently backed it up to 12:50. Luckily i love airports!
I got back to cusco last night at about 1030 and said my goodbyes to mg new friends and walked myself back to kim's apartment. When i knocked on the front door (which enters into a courtyard where the apartments all open up to) Danka, the cute dog, welcomed me. Gosh i love dogs! I packed up my backpack (full of dirty clothes) and showered (2nd best shower of my life) and then was silly and headed out with kim for a farewell beer. We met up with some of her peruvian friends, which was fun! I stayed out way to late and slept oh so well in a bed. I woke up at 730 to catch a taxi which i only paid 10 soles for (about $3 vs my $8 into the city taxi). I always feel so accomplished leaving a city as not a complete "gringa"/"farang". The taxi driver tried for 17 soles but oh no i am a master traveler who will not be overcharged! I totally wish i could just travel around for a while longer but unfortunately school is a calling. I checked in very easily at the airport and settled into my last pasty for breakfast (at least i hope this does continue on when i get home!) and a coffee. With my wifi and my food i was a happy little traveler. As soon as I realized my flight was delayed I ran into another girl from my class (Amirah) who was traveling peru for a week . We had been trying to meet up but it was a little too complicated since she was here less time and i was gone for 5 days! I must say it is very nice to see people you know when traveling alone! And so here I sit waiting for my flight to lima and hoping my wonderful sister (well her spanish speaking secretary) manages to get my flight to miami. And now on to "Love in the time of cholera". Cant wait to see everyone, hope everyone's boards went well if I did not have time to wish you well! Once again, sorry for spelling errors. I have no patience for my iphone, computers have made me horrible at spelling, and my spellcheck currently is checking in espanol. Adios!
