Ok, this was just plain awesome! After checking in to our hotel in Cusco, and
relaxing for a minute, we got a 2nd wind (literally and figuratively since many people were struggling and using the oxygen tank downstairs in the lobby of the hotel) and decided to go out and walk back to the alleyway with the GINORMOUS megalithic polygonal rocks that are perfectly shaped and fitted and beyond comprehension in size. We've been watching shows and reading about these stones for so long that it was a complete surprise to find ourselves in the alleyway, at night, in front of these stones and with NOBODY else around...they were simply amazing. Here's Chuck with his new alpaca hat and new favorite drink, Inka Cola. It basically has the same properties of Coca Cola but it smells and tastes like Bazooka-Joe bubble gum.
Here's Mr. Chadd, showing off his spiffy red Alpaca hat and Inka Cola too! Check out these granite monoliths. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that these are granite stones! The rocks are fitted with perfect symmetry, using no mortar and yet they have no gaps between them. There are complicated angles and cuts, along with additional little "kinks" that are built-in to interlock the blocks even further and prevent movement during an earthquake. Unbelievable architecture and engineering!
