Market and Saqsaywaman

     Yesterday we took a taxi up to Saqsaywaman after our spanish classes. It is a huge Incan complex overlooking Cusco. We forgot the camera, though, so only had the video camera and can't upload from that.  There were a couple, I guess you call them herds, of llamas grazing, with people and dogs watching them.  There was also a really big stone slide that had been polished to be very smooth.
     This morning my parents went to and early mass. Apparently it was pretty short--only one reading and no sermon, but it was pretty packed. They had a mass at 6, 7, and 8 in spanish and a 5 o'clock mass in Quechuan.
     We also skyped with my grandparents this afternoon,  and are going to have a pretty low-key weekend.
     Yesterday we also went to the San Pedro market. They sell lots of food and crafts, and it is very bustling and vivacious. We stocked up on fruit while we were there, and also got a root-vegetable called an olluco which we will eat this afternoon. Olluco are about as big as 1 to 2 thumbs, and yellow.  There were aisles that sold fish and caviar, and seaweed, many varieties of fruit, and a place to buy hot food.  We didn't eat any food there despite the fact that it looked very good, because even our spanish teacher (who has lived in Cusco her whole life) avoids food at the markets.
     Here are some pictures of the streets and squares of Cusco, as well as of one of the cathedrals and the market.
