Random Cuzco...

Machu Picchu blog is coming... but this is my post to summarize the rest of our time in Cuzco. So after Sacsaywaman, we walked down the road to Qenqo ruins. The main thing we saw here was a little cave. Afterwards, we wandered the small, one road town and came across a literal hole in the road where we grabbed a quick, cheap lunch. Jeanie had a nasty lomo saltado while I had a surprisingly tasty trout a la plancha. Each meal cost about $4, so can't complain much!

We then debated whether to take a cab back to the city but decided to hoof it instead. The impending clouds opened up with a vengeance (including sleet and/or hail!) as we descended the steep stone steps back to Cuzco, so after ducking under several overhangs we finally stumbled into a beverage house guarded by a llama with a staring problem. Soaked through, we got giant fermenty chicha moradas and waited out the storm in what was most decidedly a locals only place. Once the rain let up, we finally made our way back to the city.
