Day 4:  Today was a traveling day,  we traveled by train and then by taxi from the base of Machupicchu (aguas calientes) to Cusco, Peru.

 this is a picture of the inside of the Perurail train.

 most of the train ride was through forested areas

 our conductor

 more ruins along the way.

This is Jesus, our taxi driver, filling the tires with air

passing by a local town.  the pole with the red plastic on the end we were told, means, the party's on come on in.  We didn't go in!

coming in to the city of Cusco

another view of the city, it looks larger from this viewpoint.

 one of the city squares,  statue of an Inca king in the center

 one of the museums in Cusco, it was underground so we exited up onto the square.

 surprise, surprise!  Look who we found on the street?

The view from our hotel
