The Sacred Valley

Yes - it´s been forever. From Arequipa we went to Puno for Lake Titicaca and the requisite island tour then on to Cusco for New Year´s (it´s celebrated with fireworks) and Ollantaytambu for the train to Aquas Calientes and Machu Picchu (even the regular tourist train is very comfortable and has windows in the ceiling).  We´ve had two days (in a row!) without rain here in Cusco and a nice place to stay (with a kitchen and doggies!) so it´s been a very pleasant few days.  I really should have brought my own computer (lots of hostels have wifi but few have computers available - keep that in mind if you come to South America).  I´ve got a lot more wandering through the Cusco region to do before heading back to Lima so, for now, a quiock view of Machu Picchu:
The classic view (plus fog)


Inca Bridge (closed for traffic)
  Yep - it´s as awesome as you´d think.
