Peru Day 2: Cusco- Plaza de Armas, Sacsyhuman, San Pedro plaza

On Friday we woke up early to take the flight from Lima to Cusco.  We didn't even see anything in Lima which was fine with us.  We had a lovely AirBnB in Cusco.  We went straight to San Pedro market for some local cuisine.  Amber wished she hadn't tried that ceviche the whole trip.  Her stomach was sick.  Darren and I got rice, eggs, potatoes and avocado.  Delicious.  

Then we set out to walk the town.  We went to Sacsyhuman and saw the ruins.  The zig zag wall was my favorite.  The area was dedicated to the Lightning God so lots of zig zags.  Some of the stones were massive.  We learned how they fit them together and made exact fits.  
After we saw the Blanco Christo we headed back into town.  We saw the Plaza de Armas and found some delicious popsicles.  





We found the 11 cornered stone and a delicious restaurant that we went back to many times.  Jacks.  I will always remember the Banana Foster pancakes with caramel syrup and the Heuvo Rancheros.  After dinner we had to find cake for Coreys Birthday.  


Some folks headed in for the night.  Some of us went walking and loved the city all lit up.
