Feliz Cumpliaños

I went to the train station to buy my train ticket to Machu Picchu. A sign there said check availability before buying train tickets. For once in my life I heeded this advice and went back to the hotel to check on line. Sure enough they were sold out for Thursday, my planned first day. And since I had hotel reservations in Cusco Friday I decided to go to Machu Picchu later and buy my tickets  in Cusco. I had no energy, I guess from my action packed day yesterday so I just putzed around all afternoon. The owner of the hostal was having a birthday party for his 2 yo grandson and invited me to join them. I just missed the piñata but arrived in time to see the little kids having a great time playing with the confetti. There were about 12 pre-schoolers and a couple of older kids plus their moms. I take a seat and am soon served a slice of cake. Then they bring me a plate of food. Next its time for Sorpesas!(goody bags). All the kids line up for this. I get one too! Whoo-hoo! It has a toy car in it and some candy and popcorn.
