Unfortunately, converting these pictures to a format that will
display in web browsers causes much of the richness of colors
to disappear.

Hey, you guys. I don't see any giraffes. Aren't there ALWAYS giraffes when you're
on a safari ?

Let's not tell Bob there are no giraffes in Peru.
He'd be really disappointed.

I thought you said the ground was better over HERE .

Yeah. I think the rocks are.... uh... softer.

Well, I hope I got ALL of those 'softer' rocks out of the
way before I set up the tent.

Z-Z-Z-Z-Z !

Just a light summer snow. I'll get the coffee going.

Just another day in Paradise. Right Guys ?
Pass the granola, please .
Hey, Bob, did you hear those giraffes last night ?

Interested in the Cordillera Vilcanota Mountains in Peru ?
Vilcanota Spiritual Park - This information is from http://www.sacredland.org
Many visitors think of Machu Picchu and its mystical Incan heights as
the spiritual center for the people of Peru.
However, to the Quechua
people, the glorious 20,945 ft. (6,372 m.) Mount Ausangate in the Andes
is the main Apu (Deity).
After many years of fighting for the
mountain to be protected, the people finally were able to declare the
mountain and its
attendant range (Cordillera Vilcanota) as
Vilcanota Spiritual Park in December 2004 — the first spiritual park in
the world.
Located in southern Peru, near the city of Cuzco, the
Vilcanota Spiritual Park is significant for its archaeological sites
and
the massifs that sustain multiple ecosystems over a great portion
of South America. As a spiritual park in Peru, Vilcanota
will protect a
hotspot of biodiversity, including a thousand varieties of native
potato . . . . MORE FROM THAT WEBSITE
