3400

Cusco, Peru

Sleeping on a bank in Cusco`s plaza de armas

After a short flight, finally arrived in Cusco. You may wonder the title but Cusco is 3400 meter high. Still didn`t try the coca leaves tea but that may happen quite soon.

Typical peruvian costume

Night in Cusco

The day was just for resting and visiting the main city and in the evening trying some typical peruvian food. Don`t ask me why, but one of the speciality is Guinea pig called cuy here (to be pronounced couilles pour les francais!!!)
Onthe touristic side, Cusco has a very nice Plaza de armas

Finally the first "no news"

Lima, Peru

Catedral

Today was the "real" first day of holiday! After a short stop of 3 days in Buenos Aires, now I´m in Peru in Lima and leaving tomorrow morning for Cusco. As expected, it seems not easy to upload pictures so as soon as I find a good place, pictures will come.
Today was anyway only for typical touristic pictures with monuments.

Mercado Central

One thing is sure: I will not starve (mourir de faim!) in Peru. There are a lot of interesting things to try.

Convento san Francisco

Things I saw today: Plaza de armas, palacio del gobierno, catedral, palacio episcopal, plaza san Martin, Convento san francisco (visit highly recommended!) and ...

Dulce de leche in bucket, mmmmh

the not touristic at all (therefore very good for me) mercado central where you find basically everything (including a 20 kilos bucket of dulce de leche!)

Information!

London, United Kingdom

Today I found by lucky some old pictures of the prisoner TV serie I was talking about in my previous post. You'll then discover another thing I have in common with Number 6.

Number 6 in his caterham

My precioussss!

The bad news is that I will have to leave it alone for some months while I will be traveling.
Now about this blog, the real beginning will be on the 17th of October 2007. I'm not good at giving news to my family, friends, (title of the blog!) ... so the idea will be just to put some - hopefully - nice pictures.
There will be also, for personal reasons, un peu de texte en francais y tambien en castellano (mal escrito seguramente :-)

I Resigned

Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Number 6 famous sentence

In exactly 1 month, I will take a long and really needed break. As a big fan of "The prisoner" TV serie, I feel quite like number 6 although his motivations are still unclear to me.
My goal is just to stop working and stop thinking about work more than 20 hours a day, leave the big cities, noise, pollution, cellphone and computer.
Well, there is a point here! Starting a blog will not quite fulfill the last issue. It seems I will have to meet quite some computers, so my email detox may not be so successful as I'm expecting it to be. I still have 30 days to think about it. Maybe this blog will just die before getting born
Be seeing you!
