Darren Wood I didn´t manage to go mountain bike riding today because 2 people on my group got sick, and there wasn´t enough to do the trip, so it is postphoned till tomorrow, the weather has been wonderful today, have been in shorts and t-shirt most of the day, took a hike to the top of Cuzco, where there is a monument like in Brazil, great view of the city, but once again it reminded me that the alttitude effects you pretty quickly when you hike, the hill was pretty much straight up, have been to all the museums in Cuzco as I am still stuck here with the strikes, the culture is very religous, because of the Spanish influence.

I saw old Incan mummies and many different Incan tools and weapons, and the traditions that once were practiced, if you got sick in Incan times they would drill a hole in your head to let the evil escape, and there were cultures that practiced a binding around the head of babies to deform the head so that they would have an ellongatted skull ( pics attached) this meant you were of a higher society,
