Peru 2007

Sept 25 - Oct 3,2007
We only had one week to spend in Peru, so we focused on the the lovely city of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and of course, the “Lost City of the Incas,” the stunning MACHU PICCHU!!! It was amazing to travel through the heart of the old Incan empire, to marvel at the perfectly constructed stone walls they built over 500 hundred years ago, and to wander amongst the ruins scattered all throughout the Sacred Valley.
And, of course, what we came to see, Machu Picchu, is truly breathtaking!
Standing up there at 8,000 feet, you cannot even begin to imagine how they did this!
It truly is a magical, mystical place. And, my photos do not do it justice. But I sure had fun trying!
Hope you enjoy our photos from the fascinating country of Peru!

  • This huge glass of chicha cost $0.17!!
It looks a bit like dishwater but actually tasted pretty good!
