Taking it to Church...

I woke up at 6am this morning to be to church by 7am for morning mass. Here in Cusco, the churches attract a lot of tourist and the only way you can get in for free is if you go to mass. Also, pictures are never allowed. Needless to say, the churches here are beautiful. Truely. And grand. I know I am PMSing becuase it brought tears to my eyes. I really did feel like I was in a holy and spiritual place.


Being here in the school, and in this tourist spot in general, I forget how special it is that I am here. People here are traveling South America for a year or two years and talk about it like it is nothing. Like its normal. Its not. I was happy to be reminded that this trip is special and I worked hard and made sacrifices to get my behind South of the equator. So I prayed in the church. And in my prayer I asked for nothing, just gave thanks.
