The week following my arrival in Peru I journeyed to Ayacucho in order to spend a few days back in my beloved Huamanga.

| Huamanga's main plaza |
It has been four years since I had been there last, and I was indeed missing it. Unlike other trips there in past years, I was on my own and with no agenda other than to just hang out and be there.

| Hostal Via Via Plaza |
Also, unlike most other years, I did not stay in the old
family house, but instead opted for the Hostal Via Via, on the plaza. The Via Via is located in a converted Spanish-era mansion, that had also previously been the Hotel Sucre, overlooking the main plaza.
So, I just hung out, wandered around a bit downtown, and took in the sights and sounds.
