Something happens, something always happens, then you get to go to the jungle.

In Cusco, we are sure that something will happen. It may be according to plans, or it may not follow the plan. However, the peril comes in the assumption that there ever was a plan in the first place.   While walking up the street, we came upon this scene of a crew installing a chimney for a chicken roaster. No accounting for the difference between the wall and the eaves. Not even sure that the chimney is high enough to draw... Will keep you updated.
Installing a stove pipe...
On a given corner, one can catch a taxi that will take you half way to Puerto Maldonado, buy honey, auto parts, eletronic components, restaurant supplies, a tractor, industrial sized mixers, purchase a coffin and  have cebiche or kankacho (slow roasted lamb) for lunch... Ah, the beauty of Cusco "zoning  regulations" 


Restaurant supplies-gigantic mixers-tractor store

One big mango tree!

Though apparently chaotic, the traffic is really controlled.

  1. Man, I feel really ripped off that my last motel didn't come with pictures of geishas. Also, that picture of mom with the snake is SPECTACULAR. I need to show them to my Isaac so he can be appropriately horrified.

    1. Yeah, we loved our geisha photos. You never know. Glad Isaac was so impressed by the snakes. :)

  2. I love the little zoo, particularly the snakes. The monkey is 'purty' cute, too. I had feared there were no dog pictures but then the whole world opened before my eyes. You're always providing for my needs.

  3. A missionary choir in PM? Why do we not have one here in Cusco? I volunteer to be the accompaniest.
