Kourosh and I finally got to take a ‘real’ vacation. We ended up in Peru with a beautiful couple. 10-day tour… and this time, instead of sorting the pictures by category, I decided to share them as I captured the shots. We started and ended in Lima. We got to see the Pisac Ruins, Markes, Ollantaytambo… spent the night in Sacred Valley, then off to Ollianta station to make our way to Aquas Calientes and Machu Picchu. Kourosh and I went on a hike atop Machu Picchu on the 2nd day, then we headed to Cuzco which I really enjoyed–and then off to Puno – Lake Titicaca… We got to visit the locals on the floating islands–ended up doing lunch at Taaquile and then off to Lima — where we bid farewell to our friends Hamid and Afsaneh, and got to meet a new Peruvian friend and her lovely husband. We asked to experience dining in a hole in the wall which was a perfect way to end our journey. As you see I got to meet and feed many stray cats and dogs. I thought I had seen every breed of dog — until I met the national dog of Peru: Peruvian Hairless Dog. I hope to get a chance to go back to Peru to experience the Nazca lines and North of Peru… still on our list of things to do before we die. 123456789… next › last »
