High and not so dry... aka stranded in Cuzco!

The 24hr bus stike has turned into an indefinate bus strike with no signs of letting up... as a result we are pretty well stranded in Cuzco. Their is a glimmer of hope that our bus may leave this evening but it is not looking promising. According to news here, 6,000 bus and 120,000 truck will not run until the transportation unions reach an agreement with the govenment about fuel tax on diesel. So, that means we are probably not going to Nazca...
The only way out of Cuzco at the moment is by plane, so we may wind up flying to Lima tomorrow, so that we can get out of $$$ expensive Cuzco. In other parts of Peru sates of emergency have been declared, and in others the busses are still running, it is all very confusing and no one really seems to know what is going on. So, in the meantime Forrest and I have been walking arroung the city, visiting the markets and churches, Forrest got a nice fedora (hat), and we have been consuming a lot ob cheap boxed wine. It is quite rainy today but yesterday was beautiful.
Wish us luck!!!! We will be pretty excited if our bus leaves tonight!
