Travel day, so ½ in Cusco ½ in Lima. Got going in the morning to a lovely breakfast, and wandered into the Plaza de Armas, just in time for a parade (short video to follow later). Lots of colorful costumes and bands all heading to the Cathedral. We watched the entire procession which culminated with 2 giant palanquins with the Virgin Mary carried by 24 or 25 identically dressed men borne into the church. We had a plane to catch, so did not pursue the parade any further.
Short flight to Lima to stay at the Dazzler hotel, with a spectacular view from the roof top pool and deck (with exersize room next door). Watched the sunset over the ocean for the last time in Lima. On the Texas at midnight tonight.
