Back in Quito today, after a grueling day of travel yesterday, a three part flight from Cusco to Lima to Guayquil to Quito. My last few days in Cusco were amazing, I love that city and will have to return. The hostel I stayed at was called the Yanapay, which is run by a man named Yuri who uses his profits to support a local childrens shelter he runs, for street children. Went dancing and partying several times with various volunteers who were staying there and working. Did a ton of dancing and a dash of drinking.
One night I went with a German girl from the hostel and met a guy who took couchsurfers at the Plaza Del Armas, and we went to a British style pub and played pool, and then went to a bar and say an amazing live reggae band, and then went to a hopping dance club and danced until four am. Fun night.
It was tough to leave, I would have liked to volunteer at the Yanapay for a while (highly recommend it to people interested in volunteering in an amazing city.)
Haven't been able to post pictures for a while, so heres a couple from the last few weeks.
