In the rough
Ok, ok.. so today's comic is a quartz in the ruff. No? Sandstone in the rough? No? Well, ok then.
So this comic is based on reality. This time when I got to Peru, for my friend's wedding, (Ok... so maybe that's not him. but it amuses me all the same.), we settled into our hotel for 30 minutes and then went on some local tours, part 7. When we got back from that, there was a dinner with the whole group, welcoming us to Peru and thanking everyone for coming down for the wedding. The food was great. There was music. There was dancing. It was a lot of fun, but by this point I had been up a little over 48 hours straight, and Cusco is a lot higher so I started to really feel bad.
After the dinner I went back to my hotel and I started puking up a lot. Turns out i was very dehydrated and burned out. Luckily Jen decided to skip the hike to Machu Pichu (against my advice), and venture out into Cusco in search of some sort of Gatorade or Powerade. She searched for a few hours, and finally found a place that had it. She bought them out.
Towards the end of the day, I was feeling a lot better, but Jen was feeling bad. She got the rest of the Powerade, and then the next day I went looking. Powerade was EVERYWHERE. So I bought some and brought it to her.
When she was feeling a little better, we started to explore the city more, and Powerade was everywhere. It turns out Powerade is a Coca-Cola product, and Coke owns South America, espically Peru.
Ok, I'll add more later, probably by Friday, including photos of Cusco.
