This is one of the squares at night.
A different night, a different church, fountain and square. (Or is it the same one? Look closely.)
Cuy, the favorite dish of the area. Served here "sin cabesa" (without the head). I'd love to say it tasted like chicken, but it was greasier and tasted, well, like Guinea Pig; roasted to perfection. Those are deep-fried peppers and potatoes around our little friend.
Our last day in Cuzco was the feast of the Ascension of Mary, so there were parades, firecrackers, dancing kids and bands!
Notice the really little taxis? They are Daewoos. Although they are tiny, the back seats two adults comfortably. They are easy to get in and out, but...they are so tiny. I can't figure it out. Its just a few inches here and there, I guess.
This is at the modern entrance to Cuzco

This is in the museum that was the church (that was an Inka temple (Below). It allegedly is an autobiography of a ruler, Not in a written language per se but it still tells the story of his life (they say).
This is the only remaining Inka wall in Cuzco, now part of a museum that was a church.
The precision of this "imperial" style Inka design (no mortar) is awe inspiring, especially compared to the brick work that replaced it and built upon it.
This little ornate good luck design was on top of most roofs around the area. This one overlooks Cuzco.
