We got to the bus station in Cusco around 4am. We didn't have a plan or a place to go. Jim foraged for coffee and sandwiches, and I found a guy whose hotel, a few blocks from the plaza, and would let us stay the rest of the "night" (early morning) for free, as long as we payed for the coming night. So we got a cab there: Tupana Wasi Inn. The room was nice enough, but the TV was sketchy; we had to jiggle it's sparky plug to make it work.We slept for a little while, then got up to explore Cusco, which was the capital of the Incan empire. We had breakfast at a semi-pricey café. I had delicious crêpes. They were garnished with starfruit, which I realized I'd never eaten. It tastes like SweeTarts! (Or, possibly, SweeTarts tastes like it.) In either case, it made my mouth go all puckery, and it was yummy.We walked around the city. It was a little overcast, but it was still nice. We got huge sandwiches and juices at a place called Frutalix Jugateria. Their juice menu is bigger than their food menu, and they serve it in chalices like the ones at Novare. We had dinner at The Fallen Angel, on a recommendation from a friend via Facebook. It was very impressive.
