cusco! cuzco? emperor’s new groove was kind of iconic. was.

we took a plane from lima to cusco and a van up to the airbnb. when we got off everyone seemed tired and dizzy, especially khoi and y vien. thucquyen and i seemed okay until after we got into the airbnb and we realized that the high altitudes were making us all very dizzy. we all needed to go eat but khoi and y vien were so dizzy that we left them with thucquyen while we went to eat. we found this very small but cute and super good restaurant, very nice. we all got nice food and we’re eating but dad felt really sick so we left early to go take him to the house and lay down. cau ngan had found out the hotel right next to the house was much better quality and bought two rooms. except nobody had the strength to even get up and move to the rooms, so it was me and mom in one room and grandma and ba hong in another room. it was a really nice hotel that also offered oxygen through a tube for anyone who was so dizzy and needed it. which we used to our advantage. i felt fine after a super long shower, and when i went back to the house i saw a bunch of dead bodies. for sure, we would have to get out of here as soon as possible. i honestly didn’t really have anymore headaches or problems after a shower, so maybe everyone’s problem was that they were stinky. i tried telling everyone that the hotel was great but they’d rather suffer there then get and move and then suffer more. maybe it was the house, but our experience of cusco wasn’t very luxurious.
