Arrived at this high city today, and proceeded to chew coca leaves, drink coca tea, and eat coca candy. It is supposed to help prevent altitude sickness. There is a prescription you can take, but since I am allergic to sulfur, it was not an option for me. So I immersed myself in coca. Just a note: If you are in a job that has drug tests, coca can appear in a urine test. Let your boss know where you are going and what you will be doing. It worked or at least I did not experience any symptoms. ...

Today is the day to visit ruins. We first stopped at the Cristo Blanco, a large white Christ statue that is a replica of the one Rio. All along the way to Pisac, we encountered ruins. This area of Peru has hundreds of sites. We passed over the crest at 12,500 ft, to drop down to Pisac. Farmers terrace up the sides of the mountains to farm. We made an unscheduled stop to watch two men make adobe bricks - not to sell, but to use on their own houses. It is a mixture of clay mud, straw, cactus ju...

Today was to be the day to leave to go to Machupicchu. But the farmers had closed roads with rocks as well as the train tracks to Machupicchu. So OAT wisely decided to extend our stay in Cuzco. As it turned out, we thanked the farmers. It was the culmination of the Interrhymin (spelling?) Festival that began June 21 with the solstice. There are three parts to the festival, and we participated in the first two parts.
First we walked down to the the Convent of San Francisco on Sol Street...

... I only had 2 bites and continued drinking my 620 ml of beer! Next to our table, was a super nice lady from the east coast named Jessica. We ended up talking while Nik was busy picking off the little meat on the guinea pig! She was doing the Inca Trail for 4 days. Everyone I spoke to said this is a very hard hike. As I have had an issue with the altitude, I’m so glad we didn’t do ...

... of the salsa moves I learnt in Montaņita, which she picked up almost instantly - clever weasel.
N.B. Claire is my pet weasel. Iīm not sure when this came about exactly, but basically she does this weasel-like face consisting of manic eyes, scrunched-up nose, teeth bared and tongue sticking out.... and I decided she was my pet. She also does a great humming-bird face complete with flapping wings, as do I, but thatīs another story.
So anyway, animal imitations aside ...
... kallanca, Machu Picchu’s largest building is here. The "Guard House" and an associated shaped stone shrine huaca which seems to replicate Cerro Yanatin may represent a special ritual, ceremonial feature similar to the Sacred Rock Group identified by Reinhard and others (Reinhard 2002, Wright-Valencia 2001). The Guard house, designed with one side open, a waynona, is similar to the two buildings that border the Sacred Rock Plaza and probably served a similar ritual purpose ...

... wasn't worth the stress when
the tour was only 25 soles (5GBP). We did still have to buy a Boleto
Turistico (tourist ticket) which was very pricey (130 soles)! The
tour was good but the guide did go on a bit and we ended up seeing
the last place in the dark.
We had a trek booked for a few days,
the Salkantay trek which goes up to 4650m and covers 60km in 4 days
(almost twice the Inca Trail). I had been struggling with the
altitude so decided to ...

It is at Sachsayhuaman that the production reaches ...
