Big agenda for today that includes 4 museums on my tourist ticket, ruins above Cusco, and making travel arrangements for Machu Picchu
I walked up to Saqsaywaman (pronounced Sexy Woman, but means means Satiate Falcon) and toured the ruins early this morning because it was sunny. The directions I was given were make a left out the front door, take the set of stairs to another set of stairs, take more stairs and more stairs, when you hit a road go left, detour at Christo Blanco (white Jesus) for the view, continue to ruins. Christo Blanco was hideous, but the view was indeed good. The Saqsaywaman site was built as a fortress over 77 years with 3-tiered defense walls. The walls were built with cyclopean stone masonry arranged in zigzag. Dont ask me what that means.

.The 4 museums were largely uninteresting. I did a turbo round and walked through all 4, but didnt really glean much.
