I tried to take a picture with this guy. He was crouching down and I tried to pretend I was sitting on top of him and he freaked out and stood up. I had a pretty hectic ride for a few seconds.

Cuzco is the city closest to all the ruins around Machu Pichu and the Sacred Valley, cool city but it's full of tourists. I was out so late one night that Pete and Sean went and looked for me at the local jail.
