Cusco Peru

We are in the great city of Cusco.  We arrived mid-morning.  Quite a dramatic setting - nestled among the Andes at 11,000 feet.  Not much oxygen this high up.  We toured the old city Spanish buildings built upon Inca ruins on top of pre-Inca walls.  Fascinating architecture.  We head tomorrow to an archeological site and other fun things.  Weather is warm with intemittent wind & a few sprinkles.  We visited a fabric shop with native weavers & their products.  Really neat woven wools with great colors.  The food has been great.  We are traveling with 8 others.  Our guide is a native of Cusco.  They have all travelled extensively - makes us feel like beginners - except we have had more fun.  For some reason they think i´m crazy - gee wonder where they got that idea.  The camera just takes over.  BTW Jersey Boys in Toronto was the best.  Lima was a large, not very attractive city,  Flying inter-country was an experience - they actually weighed our carry-on bags - 8kgs limt & not an ounce more. 
More to follow.
 
Jen, muchos gracias for the help in setting up the blog.
