Cusco: Plaza de Armas

It seems that every Peruvian city has a ¨Plaza de Armas¨ or central square. Cusco´s plaza is probably one of the best we have seen, surrounded by two large cathedrals and lots of good restuarants. It is also a place where we constanly are mobbed by local street peddlers selling postcards, inca dolls, hand puppetts, paintings, sweaters and even a carved wooden owl. Michelle, if it were not for the fact they we had spent all of our money, came very close to buying the wooden owl simply out of pity to the person trying to sell it.

I'm pretty sure that most latin cities have a plaza de armas. The one in Mexico City is huge! Anyways, glad to see your pictures and hear about your adventures.
