Cusco

If u do get a chance to live wild and free like me, haha, and a chance to head to peru, U MUST chk out Cusco. Its main square has a Parisian (not that I´ve been there!) romantic feel to it. There you are surrounded by colonial type buildings, nothing short of the church of course. There´s even a Macs here which gives u free wireless! Come night time, the lighting will just take your breath away. Security is tight here and police constables frequently whistle off persistent touts with their wares. Some of the latter include v v young kids who´ll put on the most doleful eyes and sweetest voice just to make you part with your sols. Romantic atmosphere aside, the other streets are very polluted. Exhaust fumes puke from every mobile vehicle that ply the roads. These are accompanied by the incessant car horns of super impatient drivers. For those reasons, I try to spend my last day in Cusco 2 days ago at the quieter main square people watching and airing my socks and feet in full view of the public. Wet from the last rainy day on the trek, my shoes and socks dried within an hour under the warm afternoon sun. Who cares? I´m just a tourist right? lolLabels: S USA, travel
