Our last day before reality hits

The Temple of the Sun.

It was great to get a good night’s sleep in a nice bed. But it’s our last day, so we have to make the most of it. We decided to hit some of the museums we never got to check out. We also had a few long cups of coffee (saw an FC Dallas shirt at the first place we were at) and a traditional lunch: Alpaca! It was really tasty. Better than steak even… But I’m afraid to say we’re going home without trying the guinea pig. We just couldn’t bring ourselves to do it. Anything served with teeth intact is a little too much for me.

The big place we visited today was the Temple of the Sun. Gorgeous gardens and architecture. It’s a mix between Incan and Spanish architecture. The rest of the day we just strolled around, enjoying our last glimpses of this great city.

Twenty-one hours later, we were home. We won’t bore you with stories of canceled flights and such, but I will say, we wish we were on a balcony in Cusco’s square right now. If only the flights had been cancelled for good…
