On the last day in Cuzco, Elaine and Regina ventured into town on their own on a shopping spree. We then met at the hotel to get our ride to the airport. We flew to Lima and were picked up by our driver at the airport only to be stuck in massive traffic outside the airport.







We made it to the hotel an hour later and then took a cab (Blue Cars, excellent taxi service) to the restaurant Huaca Pucllana in Miraflores. The restaurant is situated inside the Huaca Pucllana ruins, which is an excavation site where you can get a short tour of the ruins for about S/.10. Alberto used to ride his bike on this huaca when it was only a mound of dirt. Now it is a sacred site. A huaca is an excavation site, where "huacos" or original pottery are found. The restaurant is a bit touristy but the food is excellent. The chef is quite good and the restaurant just published a nice book about their cuisine.
