Qorikancha

Hola,

While in Cusco we visited Qorikancha, a museum which is a church built on Incan foundations. The nuns still live in the white buildings you can see in a photo below.

This pool/bath was carved from a single piece of stone

Regan & Erin: Haven´t really needed waterproof pants, yet, but it has rained more here at Lake Titicaca than anywhere else so far. Yes, I think the inca carved/shaped all the rock by hand. (11/04/06)

Sue: Love the bath, wonder if Tom could make me one like that! The doors are beautiful too. A pity we don't make stuff like that any more. See the jacket is getting worn Erin, are the clothes right for the job, and has Regan needed waterproof pants yet? (10/31/06)

Duncan Bayne: Wow - were those blocks hewn by hand? (10/31/06)
