and so...

it´s been a moment since we last spoke. right now I´m in ollantaytambo, a rather empty ollantaytambo since there is another strike today. its funny, since there still is some traffic and cars since ollanta and urubamba arent actually participating, but they might as well be since pretty much all their traffic comes from cusco or machu picchu which both are striking. all the tourists are stuck since there is no train or way to go farther than an hours drive. I´m just chilling here until the fiesta this weekend. heres what I can tell you about it. its going to be big. its going to be better than urubamba´s same festival, and evidently i have to stay. yeah, thats what pretty much everyone has told me. also there will be a lot of dancing and i´ve been out most of the nights since i arrived watching various groups practice and watching milda adornar her clothes for the dance. milda is the cousin of emerson who i have known since I first came to Ollanta, shes super nice as well and has a hospedaje where ive been getting a good friends and family rate i believe, combined with the blue restaurant with the 3.50 sole dinner, living here has been cheap. and cold, like unbelievably cold. i stole all the blankets off the extra bed the first night i was here. and now i want to nap so, chau.
