Causa in Cusco, Peru
Lisa Swan updates us from Cusco, Peru. I am not one of those girls that enjoys ¨roughing it¨per se, so after several days of packing out, visiting Machu Picchu, eating so-so food in grimy tourist traps, I was willing to shell out a few extra dollars for a good meal in a comfortable restaurant in…
