Popayan, day one, part two

Here's a description of the places I visited on my first day in Popayan.  The first was called the Museo Guillermo Valencia.  The museum was the former Spanish-style residence of poet and translator Guillermo Valencia.  He married into a well-to-do family which owned the house.  It was a large two story house with about 20 or so rooms and a courthouse in the middle.  Valencia also ran for president twice and lost.  His son realized his father's ambitions (a la Kennedy) and was president from 1962 to 1966.
The Pueblito Payanesa (or Patojo) is a small scale open air version of a typical small town in the Popayan area.  I saw a pueblito paisa when I was in Medellin so I was familiar with the concept.  This one was much smaller and not as interesting.
The Morro Del Tulcan is an overgrown Indian pyramid on the edge of downtown.  It requires a strenuous effort to reach the top.  It was abandoned when the Spanish conquered the area.  In 1937 a large statue of the conquistador Sebastian Del Balalcazar was erected on the top.  In a state where many identify more with their indigenous ancestors than with Spain, it is said to be a somewhat controversial statue.

Upon descending the morro I was petered out and asked my host to return me to the Hotel La Plazuela.  I fell asleep promptly at 9pm and had what would come to pass as the easily the quietest and most restful night of my stay.
I was looking forward to waking up to learn more about an area I knew nothing about and had no idea what to expect.
