Leaving Cuzco we went in a corkscrew direction up the mountains, on our way
to Pisac and Sacasyhuaman.
Cuzco from the mountains
Show a Peruvian a mountain and he'll carve something on it, whether
it's writing, steps or terraces. It's common to see grass on the highway
clipped in the shape of letters -- "Eat at Joe's"
Christ statue
Looking down on Cuzco, a copy of one in Brazil. I called him
"Yeso Cristo" (plaster Christ) and got some filthy looks.
Biddies with llamas
Not only are they charming tour bus greeters, but they're also
professional models -- they charge to have their picture
taken.
Later on
Between Pisac and Sacsayhuaman we stopped in this small village for tea. This
good-natured kid was passing by,
and didn't mind being set upon by tourists.
