Welcome to Cusco

Here are some pictures of where I live. I am 3 blocks from the Plaza de Armas in the Historic Center, a neighborhood called San Blas.I walk thru the Plaza de Armas daily on my way to the Mercardo San Pedro (MSP). The MSP which is like a hugh farmers market that is open every day and is about a 15 minute walk from my place.
The "super markets" are a 15 minute walk in the other direction.
UPDATE; December 2009, just posted a gallery of my New Apartment/Yoga Studio Its just 2 blocks/2 minutes from the first apartment, so I still walk thru the San Blas area.
