Miscellaneous Marvels

Cathedral in the main plaza.

A teeny tiny church.  I thought it was just a monument but when I got to the top I saw they were actually having a mass in there.  The interior could not have been more than about four hundred square feet. 

Pretty view.

The natural hot springs, or "Inca Baths".  These outdoor pools are for display purposes only, people don't bathe in them.  However, the spring water is diverted to small hot tub like pools inside of private cabins that are rented to the public.  The water comes out piping hot, so the pools located inside the cabins are filled with the scathing hot water late in the evening at which point it's allowed to cool off.  Visitors have to arrive before 5:30am if they want to bathe in this pure spring water, because after 5:30am regular hot water water is mixed in to keep the water temperature hot.  Getting up at 4:30am was not fun, but worth it. 

Market.

Purple corn.

Hand knitted.

Colours.  Peppers in the middle, and honey on both sides.
