FINALLY!!!

FINALLY, after going 2 1/2 weeks without a battery charger, I found one here in Cuzco. This makes me ohhhhhhh so happy as I have had to not take as many pictures, trying to conserve my batteries for Machu Picchu tomorrow. But finally I found them here. They were a lot of money! The only reason I was able to purchase both chargers for both my point-and-shoot, but also my SLR, was because someone FINALLY accepted plastic. That's right, its the first time we've been able to use a credit card in more than 3 weeks!!

Today I also bought a piece of art from one of the stores here in town. It was quite expensive but I expect it to be a piece of art that I have for life! It is a beautiful oil painting of the old fashioned Peruvian women picking flowers. It is gorgeous. (Moscow) Mom, I think you are going to be so jealous. Its gorgeous!

Amber and I are having a lot of fun walking around Cuzco and looking in all the shops. Now that we are coming home three weeks from today, we have begun to accept that its ok to buy some stuff and carry it with us for the rest of the trip. We haven't bought much as we have to carry it all but with the warmer weather we should be able to get rid of some of our warmer clothes.

There's so much great stuff still to come in the next three weeks but we are also very excited to come home. Only three weeks, mommies!!

I think I missed a story somewhere. Why did you go on a trip without your camera chargers?

I am so happy for you guys. I miss you lots! I am also happy to have internet in my new apartment. :)

They were stolen when we were in Salta, Argentina. Right after our trip to Iguazu Falls and before going to Bolivia.

We believe they were stolen when I stepped out of the room to ask Katie something (she was on the computer) and i left the door unlocked.... Ugh.
