Cuzco broke my phone :[

So today was a very basic day. I walked around looking for the place to purchase bus tickets from Agua Calientes to Machu Picchu and the entrance tickets for Machu Picchu but after getting lost both places were closed. Okay actually one place was the closed the other I just couln'dt find... I had the most orgasmic alpaca strogonoff. It was amazing. I aso decided to buy some bracelets to get rid of this lady who kept bugging me and I also invested in a band by purchasing their CD. I also made a little friend, christain, who wanted to scrub my shoes but I wouldn't let him. He said the one sole would be for school and stuff, I just looked at him then he startedd to grin and I called him out, "No it's not dude" he laughed and still tried to scrub my shoes for a sole. Okay so, After eating an amazing lunch I decided to walk up the mountain for some photo shots. I walked up some really awesome corridors/steps 'till I got to a ledge looking down on the Plaza De Armas. It was amazing I sat there for a little while. I also watched this baby llama hop around while it's owners packed up thier crafts and such, cutest thing I have ever seen srsly. So after that nice break I decided to try my way further up the mountain, I took a picture of three ladies and their babies and llama but then ended up paying them 10 USD for that picture. They were asking for 50 soles total but I happen to lose them in the math when converting to USD. I walked up and up 'till I saw a sign for Cristo Blanco and Sacsayhuaman. A man I passed earlier and talked to for a short bit said Cristo Blanco was free to get to so I decided to trek all the way up to the VERY top of th hill. I almost died... 8 times... I finally made it and the view was amazing even though I only had minutes of sunlight left. The walk down was muuuuch easier and even though it was after dark it was still pleasent. I met this couple (totally forgot their names, a loud truck drove by as we exchanged names) who were traveling with their parents and so the reaso they were staying in a converted cathedral. It was super nice looking, from the outside. Anways it was only like 15 min walking down with them they were pretty cool. I got back to my hotel and took a shower with my music playing on my phone on a shelf by the sink.. Next thing I know I hear a crash... SHIT PHONE FELL! OH NOES!! I jump out and take a look at it. No cracks on the front there might be one on the back but eeh it's all good. My phone is now toast... And by toast I mean I can't use it until I plug it into itunes... Stupid thing wiped itself and now I have to reactivate it... A man here let me try plugging my phone into his apple laptop which has iTunes but my phone wont stay on for some reason. I tried his PC laptop, and the hostals desktop phone still wont stay on long enough to ask to be plugged into itunes... When I plug my phone into a wall outlet I get that stupid screen no prolem... :(

So I have no phone for the next five days... even longer if I can't get it fixed at home...

I did, however, find a way to pack up my pictures from my camera's memory stick for free so I will have more space for the ruins tomorrow and Machu Picchu. The man who has the two laptops, his PC netbook has a card reader! so he's letting me upload all my photos and videos onto Photobucket. yay.

Tomorrow morning I head out EARLY to get my bus and entrance tickets for Machu Picchu and my tickets to see Sacsayhuaman and Pisac. :)

It's 11:52 pm and my pictures are almost done uploading.
Night!
