A day at the movies

Went to San Miguel today by taxi - what a ride - better than any roller coaster. I was sure that we were going to crash at least ten times in the 35 minute trip. The taxi fare only cost $1.50AUS and we saw a movie (in English with Spanish subtitles) for $1.50AUS. On the way saw locals preparing a large floral tribute for a religious festival/parade. It is Sunday here and there was a big marathon being run along the main road so the traffic was even more chaotic with much of the road being blocked off. Met a Canadian who was able to provide a lot of good, firsthand advice and plans for Machu Picchu trip are now starting to firm quite significantly.
