After wondering around the streets early in the morning, I found accommodation, and tried to catch up on sleep... slept till mid afternoon.... and as upon waking up, booked my trip to Machu Picchu for following day (2 day/1 night) with the Hostel.
I wondered around the town a bit (there are dogs everywhere) ... and definitely feel the high altitude and thin air, and I know that there is a common risk of Altitude Sickness ... shortness of breath, having to take little rest breaks every 1km of walking .... so I am conscious about not over-exerting myself...
The town itself is rather uninteresting ... packed with tourists (like myself), using it as a start-off point to experience the Inca trails.

BTW, I thought it strange that for a conservative culture, they had the PRIDE flags flying everywhere, only to find out it was actually the Inca flag!!!
