Today was our last full day in Cusco before we began our 5-day trek to Machu Picchu. After a couple full days of activities, and still recovering from being sick we took this day to rest. I felt pretty good on Rainbow Mountain yesterday but know I was still a little drained from the illness. Brendan worked on school and I caught up on all the phone calls to the family to let everyone know we are going to be out of touch awhile on the trail. We then walked around getting some last-minute essentials for the trek such as Snickers bars, and a wood fire pizza to-go for our last dinner. We packed all our things and tried to get a few hours of sleep before our 3:30am wakeup the next day.
