so we went ahead and headed out there, and we arrived on the 9th and we went to, so we arrived to kuscos the nearest town that has an airport, and then on the tenth and 11th we did our hike and then on the 11th we came back to kusco, and everything seemed fine, and we did a little tour on the 12th before the plane that we had to take on the evening of the 12th. when we got there, we had seen a little bit of peaceful protest before we left and i have a little video clip of that that i took. nothing major just looked like some people were upset, that the president had been arrested because he was from what we've learned from the locals he was a "man of the people" and they did not like the congress arresting him, so we didn't see any violent protests at that point, but then when we were waiting for our plane, they never gave us the gate and our plane was due to leave at 8:55 p.m., so i went up to the ticket agent and i said, you know, are we ever going to get a gate number, is this flight canceled? she said oh, yeah it's going to take off. just wait, they will give you the gate number and
