Oh the altitude



Today we were humbled by the altitude. After another amazing sleep of 14 hours we headed off with high ambitions of walking all around town. After about 2 hours, we both were very light headed, luckily we found rest in the basement of Cathedral San Francisco, which was built back in the 1500s. We had lunch, and cafÈ con leche, both our favorite and rested enough to walk to Plaza Santo Domingo, where a live Salsa band entertained well-dressed crowd on their way home from Sunday mass. I was so happy to see kids playing soccer in the square. We have some errands to run tomorrow and are hopefully headed off to see the breeching humpback whales, which happens only once a year during this time. We are very excited and loving our trip so far!
