Today is a slow day!! All my leg muscles are hurting especially when I go up or down steps, so steps are not welcome today!!! My new hotel is not as good as the previous one in Cusco, I blame Expedia rating for this!! The one good thing is that I complained about some stuff and threatened to leave and they have responded! They even gave me an emergency phone to call them from anywhere in Cusco if I needed help like send a taxi or whatever so given that I decided to stay there for now!! I am exploring a different part of town today so I am learning new stuff! Tonight a tourist company will take me to dinner followed by a folkloric evening, something new! I am curious how that goes?? The independence of Peru is July 28th as I already mentioned before so there are parades everywhere by school kids and I ran into one today so...
Peruvian kids marching band in Cusco
More kids dressed up differently and just having a very synchronized march in Cusco ( they were right behind the band )
Temple of the sun in Cusco (Coricancha)

The stone construction of the Incas is unparalleled in history and will put to shame modern civil engineers!! Their construction is said to be earthquake resistant that is why Machu Picchu is still there and did not crumble over the centuries!!
