Cusco to Lima: Mass Tourism Cusco. June 1. My friend caught a plane towards Iquitos this morning. I had a blast with her. We had a little goodbye romance and she headed for her plane. It was strange for me as I was being left. I am always the leaver. My friend Aafje, who ditched me on my birthday, was in town. She was sick and wanted me to visit her so I went to meet before I left mass...

Isla Del So is that beautiful woman who teases you with her warmth and makes you feel so good,...
