Cuzco

Vanessa and I are leaving on a train at 6 in the morning tomorrow to get to Macchu Picchu. I´ve been looking forward to going there for a long time and it´s almost here.

We´re in the nearest big city, Cuzco. It´s a very cool colonial town with narrow stone streets. Where we´re staying it is quite dense, possibly because the main market is just around the corner. It makes it more fun to just walk around and see everyone and their hustle and bustle.

Interesting tourist gift: a chessboard with Spaniards vs. Incas instead of black and white. Better yet, some of the boards use gold for the Incas and silver for the Spaniards. Thought that was clever.
