Amazing trips! Juice fast, then Ballestas islands after a 17 hour bus ride, then a 4 hour bus ride to Lima where we quadrupled our 20 soles playing Blackjack, and then yesterday, we flew back to Cusco from Lima. Tomorrow, we're heading out to Puerto Maldonado to do part 3 of our vacation in the jungle and to celebrate the new year with Pachamama, or mother Earth. Happy new year! This is going to be an amazing one, and what a special year 2013 has been.
