Peru, Part 2

The adventure continues . . . From Lima we flew to Cusco and stayed there for 3 great days.


We saw llots of llamas. They were all llovely.




Our favorite dish of all was one we ate in Cusco. It's called Lomo Saltado--Beef, onions, tomatos, peppers, with rice and french fries. We liked it so much we went back to the same restaurant twice in two days.



We went to multiple Incan ruins. The stonework and scope of the ruins were incredible. Pictures do not do them justice. Those Incans were very advanced and skilled.



The view from above Cusco is tremendous--like stepping back in time.


Late afternoon view of the cathedral near the main plaza.



We visited a high school in Cusco. We practiced our Spanish and the Peruvian students practiced their English. It was way fun.



Nothing like a good ol' fashioned open air meat market to awaken the senses (especially the sense of smell)


At a lookout point in the Cusco district of San Blas. Kasia is the second student from the right.


What's a foreign vacation without sampling the local delicacy? This is cuy, or guinea pig. Lots of people have asked me what it tastes like. I tell them it kind of tastes like cuy.


Coming up next, Machu Picchu!
