Plaza Mayor

Drinking Cusquena, the local watery beer, and eating tequenas, fried bread/small tocish with cheese in the middle and guac on the side I observe from a balcony above Plaze Mayor:


Traditional dancers in front of the cathedral, flute music, women in bright cloth hoop skirts holding baby lamas and charging tourists for photos, taxi cabs, hippies with no shoes, fountain with a gold statue, whistling taxi drivers looking for passengers, northface store, police officers with white gloves, white helmet and orange vest, men selling paintings in cardboard folders, Starbucks, giggling school girls in navy jumpers and white knee socks, men selling sunglasses, men selling flowers, statue of San Cristobal glowing on the hill like in Rio, stray dogs, American study abroad students wearing bright baggy textile pants.
