We took another bus from Puno to Cusco.

We stopped along the way at a high pass that was 4,300 metres above sea level. It was a beautiful drive.

The kids posed on the wall above Plaza San Blas, which was just down the road from our hostel.

The streets are narrow and winding with LOTS of ups and downs.

We were fortunate to end up in la Plaza de Armas during some kind of military parade. The parade included lots of military along with several marching bands.

There was also a flag-raising ceremony.

There were lots of locals taking advantage of the crowd trying to sell their wares.

This was the street that led back to our hostel.

It wasn't an uncommon site to see llamas in the streets.

No matter where we go, Campbell and Kelly seem to have a knack for finding banana splits. The ones in Cusco were better than most.

Cusco was probably a good place to eat banana splits because there were plenty of stairs and hills to help wear off the extra calories. The high altitude made those long climbs even more difficult.
