Cusco to Lima

A good night´s sleep although Ron is ailing. Imodiam may do the trick. Ah, the challenges of travel. After breakfast (un poquito, por favor) we tour what was the religious center of Cusco. The Spaniards removed all the gold and silver and tore down what walls they could, building a church atop what remained. Retribution occured in the 1950´s when a large earthquake revealed a huge outer wall of the former temple. That part of the building and an adjacent garden remain today as the Incan temple, but the place is owned by the Catholics who maintain a church, quarters for nuns and priests and a girls´ school run by the nuns. Then on to the ariport in Cusco where we bid a fond farewell - hugs all around - to our dear guides, Angel and Percy. In Lima, we meet our city guide and are off to the Archeological Museum for a tour. We are not at our best plus we have been spoiled by Angel and Percy and their tender care. Finally, it´s over (Ron waits outside) and we go to lunch and then to our hotel where we say more good byes to our friends from the tour. To our room and later to bed. Bueños notches.
