When we first arrived to Cusco, we were met at the airport by Javier Since and he took us to the Sacred Valley and the town of Urubamba. Notice the city of Cusco and the numerous houses built up on the hillside. Double click on the picture and see the long stairs that goes up the hill.
The beautiful Sacred Valley. From November to March is the rainy season and everything is beautifully green
We stayed at the Recoleta Hotel in Urubamba
It was beautiful and a nice room
A view of Urubamba looking down on the city.
We left Cusco and headed to Urubamba. These are pictures of the city where we have a branch and two elders working here.
Pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the country side.
These are pictures of some of the streets and the people
Moto taxi that we caught from hotel to down town and town square.
We went from our hotel to the town square.
While sitting on a bench at the town square we saw this funeral procession going by.
While we were down town in Urubamba we went to this open air market. Notice the pile of different colors of peppers

Sacks loaded with beans, lentils, rice etc.
Our hotel was once part of a monestary. They adjoin one another. These statues are inside the church
The entry way into the church
Notice the rockway floor.
This depicts the beliefs of the Peruvian people. In the Provinces most of the houses has the two oxen up on the roof signifying that the couple are equally yoked or pulling their weight equally to raise their family. Also on his left sholder he is wearing a pouch like the old pony express pouch that the rider would have on his horse. In the front the husband would carry the burdens of his family and in the back the community. It being braided and knotted at the top as the strenght of the husband and wife for family and community.
While we were in Ollantaytambo we stopped at this shop and bought 16 dolls for our granddaughters. We actually went to Ollantaytambo to see the ruins and eat at a favorite restaurant of the Tylers. Unfortunatly
it got dark to see the ruins and the restaurant was closed. But we did have a good meal at another across and down the street.
