Backtracking


Bulls on the roof for protection.  This tradition comes from a town we visited on Wednesday (Rayna I think, but will have to check).  Apparently they used to use llamas but when they saw the bulls the Spanish brought with them and how strong they were, they changed to that.
Llama grazing.  Not pronounced Lama - pronounced Yama !
On Sunday we took a bus tour to Ollyantaytambo.  On the way, we made numerous stops and had lunch.  I have a few photos to show you  that take us to our first stop.


Fortress of Saqsaywaman or Sacsahuaman (pronounced almost like Sexy Woman).  Stones from this fortress were used to
build the cathedral in Cusco.

Our first stop was in a very little village called Corao, where they teach ceramics.
This young fellow spends his days posing with his alpaca, for the tourists.
