Peru day 3- Cusco!

Barely heard Colin leave at five am, then before we knew it it was 830; showered dressed and were down for brekke before they closed. Had a European bread meat and cheese and ordered an omelet special-- onion, mushroom and ham with cheese omelet. Yumm. Then we were off to find a open top bus tour. But before we left we asked about scheduling a taxi with tourist stops along to way to ollyantatambo. 150s and 10am pick up. 3s=1$. Perfect. Off to the town center for a bus tour. 25s and we were united with a group that just started. We did a little walking tour around town then hopped on a city cruiser bus as the open too bus is too big to maneuver the tight streets and 90 degree turns. We went past both churches and a water fountain before heading out of town to hop on our double decker open top bus. Drove past the sachychuea (or something like that ruins) out to an inca shawman house where we put coca leaves in a fire and he removed the evil spirits by hitting us with some green plants and then washed away te evil spirits with some aromatic waters. Got my pictures with a 5 year old inca girl and her baby alpaca (pagame!! She would say if you took a picture without paying her) then off to an alpaca shop, with non stop buy this buy that and then to the Jesus Cristo statue overlooking the town of Cusco and down back into town. It ended up being a three hour tour. Then we set off to find some woodfired pizza; at another ma and pa shop and then to the cocoa museum for for some dessert. We learned about the different regions where cocoa beans grow and the process of getting the cocoa beans out of the pods and roasting them and then separating the cocoa butter from the cocoa powder and then finally tasters the different types of chocolate. We detoured into the cocoa mieseun because it looked like rain. No rain. After the free tour we went back to our room for a siesta. Woke up around 530 and daughter out seledonias mesa; the restaurant recommended by joey. Cuy and soup and a pisco sour and a beer. The soup was a chicken noodle with vegetables and was quite delicious. The cuy-- bakes guinea pig came out head, teeth, ears feet fully intact. Trying to eat it but the skin was practically impenetrable. We were able to get to some of the meat; which was salty and pork tasting. Unable to handle the rodent stares matt attempted to decapitate the thing. No luck. Luckily the soup was filling. After some hearty laughs and a 6$ tip we were done with the food and ready to walk toward old town. Heard some love music and walked up three flights of a cafe and found it. Two rounds of pisco spurs and a lot of Elvis covers and we were ready to retreat back to our hotel after picking up some water. Next morning, wake up pack, brekke and hop in the taxi to ollyantatambo.
