Cuzco
The street that our hostal was on. I just can´t escape the stairs!
Big Blue Door. I was a big fan of the doors in Cuzco...
Original Inka stones that are still part of modern Cuzco.
Inside one of the many churches...
Abby and I on the Plaza.
It´s easy to see why Abby and I get alone so well- our favorite things are eating out and going out dancing. And we spent a lot of time eating out...mostly at our two favorite restaurants, Granja Heidi´s and Jack´s. 
Goofing off at Granja Heidi´s.
We did pull ourselves away from Jack´s and Granja´s to take the short bus ride to Pisac for the Sunday market. Recognize this picture from the Christmas cards? This woman was so happy to take the picture with me (but mostly, because I gave her a Sol (Peruvian money) for doing so).
In every town you can always find a couple of old men hanging on the corner!
I love this picture because all the indigenous people are going about their business in front of a big Inca Cola sign (the most popular cola in Peru. It tastes similar to cream soda).
Abby and Sarah trying the local attire.
My other Christmas card (also had to give these girls one Sol each)! All the little kids carry around puppies or sheep to try to lure Gringos into taking a "paid" picture with them...
Abby modeling a Cusquena T-shirt (the other Peruvian beer).
The unique hats worn by the people around Pisac.

Back in Cuzco we were ready to head out to our favorite bar, Ukuko´s, for some live Afro-Ecuadorian music and 2 for 1 Pisco Sours!
Out with some crazy boys from Holland and and even crazier boy from Canada, who we decided is a double for Jim Carry. You should see the faces this kid makes! For example...
Sarah made friends with the bar tenders and got to be a "helper" behind the bar for a while. Well, until they realized I was useless because I couldn´t even open the beer properly!! In my defense, they don´t use a normal opener, they just kind of flick the top off with this metal thing.
Bartender Sarah striking a pose!
In an Irish pub on the Plaza in Cuzco.
Big bottle of Brahma, the Peruvian beer. We all know this took me about three hours to finish!
This was another bar on the plaza that always had live Reggae music.
The girls.

There is a huge hostal in Cuzco called Loki hostal. A little too crazy for us, especially after we finished the Inka Trail and just wanted to be able to have a place where we could go to sleep in peace when we wanted. BUT, we did head over for one of Loki´s parties, the Toga Party.

Toga girls
Don´t mess with me.
Bartender for the toga party.
A few more shots from around Cuzco...
Best. Picture. Ever.
There was a restuarant on this street that we really loved that was 4 soles (the equivalent of about $1.30) for a three course meal! Soup, main, and dessert!
