Tuesday, 2/26. Pre-Incan Museum. Lots of pottery, silver, and gold. Very strange rituals involving sacrifices and deaths. Examples: There were tournaments before sacrifices, but authorities are not sure whether the loser was punished by sacrifice or the winner was honored as the sacrifice. Exhaustive display of pottery. Durable stuff.
Visited one of the oldest churches (no photos), including the catacombs. Bones were sorted. Thousands of femurs, then skulls, etc. Considered one of the safest places to be for earthquakes. The artwork in the church was considerably worse than the earlier society’s pottery and metal work.
That was essentially it for the day. Some stayed downtown, some went to another museum. Others followed me to my favorite restaurant, then the Chocolate Museum. I had a large Pisco Sour. Also ordered and shared some coca tea, revered for helping at high altitude. No big deal. We’re at sea level so if there were any effects, we wouldn’t feel them.
Welcome dinner included some dancing exhibition. It was okay. Tomorrow we head back to the mountains.
I sneaked a catacombs photo. 
Some kind of parade. Lady came over and smeared baby powder on one of us. Everyone else ran. 
JFK Statue. He helped Peru out of some turmoil in the 60s. 
My Grande Pisco Sour. 
Traffic control. Active job.
