After Macchu Pichu, I traveled the lovely Peru Rail train back to Cusco. Well, you have to take the train to and from the small town of Agua Calientes. But what a joy to sit back and enjoy a train ride !
Once back to Cusco, I had some extra days that I planned just to relax and chill. I'm always on a budget and was trying not to spend money the few days. So I wound up spending hours walking around the city, the markets, and striking up random conservations and attempting to practice my Spanish. I wandered over to the "artsy" part of Cusco called San Blas. Little did I know, that they were honoring the patron saint San Blas. Most folks are of Catholic religion and they sure knew how to celebrate!

Fresh food was being cooked and shared, beers were flowing, the young and old were dancing in the streets, and bands were blasting traditional music. It was a blast ! The parade began and followed through out the streets. It's days like this when I just happen to stumble across something so authentic and cultural just out the blue that I love. You really don't know where or what the day will bring when you travel !! Celebrate LIFE !
