Cusco and Lima Page Content Don't put anything here Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text We are off to China tomorrow, so I gotta wrap up our Andean trip. After coming back from Machu Picchu, we spent another day in Cusco, wondering around. We also did a tour of the city which included Qoricancha - the royal and ceremonial complex that was turned into a monastery and had some amazingly meticulous stonework - and some of the sites around Cusco, such as Sacsayhuaman (the guides suggest "Sexy Woman" as a mnemonic) which was composed of some rather impressive bolders. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-21-a-cusco/20051221_003_2086 The monastery on top of Qoricancha 2005-12-21-b-qorikancha/20051221_024_7971 A small stone replacing a piece of a stone that fell off. 2005-12-21-sacsay/20051221_043_5411 A view of Cusco from Sacsayhuaman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-21-a-cusco/20051221_006_0923 A Cusco alley 2005-12-21-a-cusco/20051221_010_4431 Clothes on sale 2005-12-21-a-cusco/20051221_023_1631 Peruvian women in bollard hats crossing the street 2005-12-21-sacsay/20051221_050_0648 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-21-b-qorikancha/20051221_028_4808 New architecture on top of old in Qoricancha 2005-12-21-b-qorikancha/20051221_034_7049 Cross-section of a wall in Qoricancha 2005-12-21-b-qorikancha/20051221_035_3280 Qoricancha 2005-12-21-sacsay/20051221_037_4522 Sacsayhuaman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-21-sacsay/20051221_036_8008 Sacsayhuaman 2005-12-21-sacsay/20051221_040_9012 Sacsayhuaman 2005-12-21-a-cusco/20051221_005_8252 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Next day we flew to Lima, which was a lot more modern and less interesting, but still had a few surprizes, which included a pile of skulls laid out in concentric circles in the crypt of one of the churches, a Chinatown and a piramyd in the middle of a boring residential district. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_004_7264 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_031_6696 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_032_1179 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_037_8851 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_005_2248 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_020_2168 Lima coastline ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_005_2291 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_014_0093 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_020_1379 2005-12-22-lima/20051222_036_8731 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_013_1768 Painted adobe church 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_017_3381 Cactus with added flowers 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_011_8303 2005-12-23-a-lima/20051223_019_5183 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Don't put anything here Advanced Fields Category 2002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014E.
