We arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon on January 26th, a Sunday. The Entire town was celebrating Carnival. 3 seconds after Berkley and I set our bags down in our new room at the Wild Rover Hostel, our roommate from Holland barged in. He was soaking wet, covered in colorful foam, and had the biggest smile on his face. "Guys, go check it out, its crazy...just wear the least amount of clothes as possible!" Berk and I quickly stripped down into boardies and took to the streets in flip flops and a pocket full of soles...we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. 10 minutes into our arrival into Cusco, we were covered in foam! Getting sprayed in the face, the ears, and sown the pants was just the start. The girls spray the boys and vise versa...buckets of water from balconies, heaving water balloons, and masses amounts of colored foam were exchanged in an all out battle between the sexes. Funny thing, Berk and I were the only ones without shirts on and in shorts. Everyone was wearing pants, sweaters, and scarves...it must have been the sheer excitement and adrenaline, but the 50 degree windy weather didn´t fase our soaked bodies! WE kept on for a few hours, eventually getting the girls to come out with us...what a time! Seriously haven´t had so much fun in years...we were like little kids running around with no rules, just living life...boys will be boys!!!! I´ll never forget this day!!!!
