Sexy Woman

The weather forecast on yahoo.com predicted rain. I think it's run by the BBC because it was blue skies and sunshine all round. To that end Sean, Monika and I decided to visit Sacsayhuamán} (which everyone pronounces Sexy Woman!), some religious Inca ruins up the hill from my hostel. It's quite a cool place and some of the stone blocks are simply massive! The size of a portacabin, not only have they been dragged into place but they've been sanded down on all sides to slide perfectly in place amongst the other blocks. The superior Inca craftsmanship can not be denied.

And then I saw it. It was huge! The biggest &fluffiest dog I've ever seen! So big I just had to go get a photo to prove its dimensions!

I look up and Christ, it's Jesus! Yep, Cusco has it's own Christ the Redeemer too! So while Sean &Monika walked down the hill, I pegged it up another for a closer look at this spiritual entity. Well, what can I say about it? It's white, was made in 1945 and has freaky giant googly eyes!

Back in Cusco we succumbed to one of the many restaurant touts advertising a free drink with lunch. Free and a drink it may be but these perfectly formed Pisco Sours were served in shot glasses!
