The Adventures of Rob & Lauren

Well guys, we have some exciting news! We  we located an iPhone cable! Hooray!!! We took a taxi to what we were expecting to be a shopping mall, which really was an open-air market packed full of stalls selling every type of wares you could imagine.

We were a bit nervous after walking through aisle after aisle of clothes, but eventually found ourselves in an electronic section. Nestled in between locals selling boomboxes we found a stall that had a selection of phones in the display case, including an iPhone. We were excited!

We pulled the boy away from watching his movie to ask if they had a charger. “No” was his quick reply. We pointed to the iPhone in the case, and suggested that if he had that, he must have this cable. He took a moment to root through a box full of cords, and pulled out that glorious white one. I’m pretty sure I heard some angels singing…

Rob asked the price. “10 soles” he replied (Roughly $3.30). Clearly Rob’s excitement gave him away, and instantly the price doubled. We had spent far too much time searching to even care, and happily paid him. So now, we can share some videos with you guys! And you’ll see some of Rob’s fantastic iPhonography soon as well! We’ll start out with a quick video Rob took of our first hotel. The view was just breathtaking!

We spent our second day here just exploring the city. Here are some shots of our wanderings around the streets of Cusco. Hope you enjoy! 

Check back tomorrow for some amazing shots of some salt pans and an ancient Inca amphitheater used for testing the climates most suitable for growing crops. Neato!
