Cusco and the start of the Lares Trek

Against the better judgement of some who were worried that I would (a) become a larger man and/or (b) trip and fall, I ended up taking a break in Peru.  It was to be an eye opening experience (I got sun burnt) and also a mouth watering one (I think I ate more than was healthy).  Here are some photos of Cusco and the start of our trek to Manchu Pichu.
