Dumenico rally liked the llama's and there were a number of them around, as I said they did their job of keeping the grass mowed. :)
Marco noticed this Hole on the side of the wall so managed to get a picture to show how it went through the rock, he was told it was to tie a door to. We were told that they only had a door on the Temple of the Sun the rest of the people hung blankets at the door. They respected the property of the other person so didn't need that security.
is a window but notice that it is narrow at the top and widens at the bottom.
Here is Cynthia in her rain gear, sure a good thing we purchased the ponchos as it rained almost the whole time were on the mountain. Think it is a little over 9000 feet here, lower then at Cusco.
This is Yuly our guide, cost us $40 for her time, but it was well worth it as she explaineed everything to us as we went along. John is in the picture too.
This picture was taken by Marco Jr. and he was up much higher to get this good picture. We walked all over this place, let me tell you there are lots of steps and I was up to most of them but decided not to goup to the watch tower hill. think that is where this picture was taken from. Most of the rest of the pictures from Machupicchu will be taken by Marco Jr.
Another closer picture, I was amazed at the size of this place, there just isn't any way we can see the whole place in our camers.
This is a close up of a portion of a building. Notice the rocks making the header for the doors.
Notice the terraces, on one side of this place they were used to grow crops (corn, potatoes and other things) and on the other side they were used for errosion, or so we were told by Yuly. Now the Llama's keep them moved and trimmed up. :) That seems to be their job.
Notice the way the rocks fit together, you can't put anything between them. It was explained to us what they did to keep the stones from coming down in a earthquake. Will explain that later. This place of Machupicchu was not completed when the Inca's left and they don't know why they left, they can only guess as they left no written records and no hyroglyphics. ( don't know if this is spelled right and for some reason there is no spell check and I am without a dictionary.)
