Travel

visited the Cathedral in the square, shops along the Pacific Ocean, etc. Friendly, courteous people all the way.

We flew to Cusco, and felt the effects of the altitude after a short while.. The hotel kept coca leaf tea available in the lobby 24/7. I was grateful for it. Cusco is a beautiful city, the architecture is amazing, but there is poverty of course.. Children trying to sell "stuff' in the square, from dawn to dusk. We befriended one young girl named Juana.. She sucked down one water bottle in a jiffy.

Restaurants in Cusco are amazing, especially a vegetarian restaurant that we returned to over and over again.

We also took to the train to Aquas Clientes, and enjoyed the "on board show" of the dancing devil and a fashion show as well. Everything runs on schedule, no matter what, so get to the train station on time.

We flew back to Lima for one night, then left early the next day... the airport in Lima is modern, etc.

It was a memorable trip. I was traveling with my stepdaughter who had been traveling on her own for a month in other South American countries... We had a blast.
