Sacsayhuaman - Up the
Hill
 As we went up the hill we passed individual houses with traditional animals decorating the
walls. They MUST only be single story, the equivalent of planning
permission.
 The team onward and
upward
We got back on the coach and went
further up the hill. What was not clear initially was we were actually on the
same site as down the road - the enormous gap was produced by the Spanish taking
many of the stones to build the Cathedral. We got off and walked up a path for
ten minutes or so.
  We came to what Fernando called Mother Earth's Seminal Fluid. He told us that this water
was considered to be the fountain of youth and it had miraculous
qualities
  A little farther on was another fountain - never dries up, again
magical
 This made quite a
picture
 Just to the right is the very start of
the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu - Anne being our able
model
 Back at the bottom we
had time to be offered every tourist trinket, jumper and blanket
ALL IN ALL GREAT TO
SEE THE START OF THE INCA TRAIL
FASCINATING THAT NO-ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHERE THE WATER
COMES FROM
