Hey! Remember that time I poked around South America for three months? Like, half a year ago? Because I would apparently rather spend my time going to cat shows and zombie pub crawls, I just now uploaded the photos from my trip. Care to take a gander? I should tell you that I deserve zero of the credit for how well these photos turned out, as they were taken by my travel partner/former boyfriend.
If you listening carefully, you can hear me squeeeing withjoy in this photo.
I slept here! As detailed here.
A village on the altiplano in Bolivia.
Oh, lack of depth perception. You never fail to amuse!
A church in Potosi, the city where Butch Cassidy and The
Sundance Kid died.
Dyes made from minerals for sale in the market.
Huacachina! Where I didn't die sandboarding.
Peruvian kiddos at a religious ceremony.
Machu Pichu before the fog burns off.
It looks like I'm engaging in deep thinking here, contemplating
ancient cultures and the circle of life.
But really I'm wishing I had a latte.

These pictures are fantastic. I would love to visit Machu Pichu!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! We need to have a chat about how you get past taking pictures of people in other locales. I always feel bad, like I'm going to offend them. When we lived in China people taking pictures of us got real old!
ReplyDeleteMP - that's a good question. Usually I ask them. Around Peru, they often hold out their hand for money after you take a picture of them, so I would usually give them a little something, or buy them something to eat. Really, I'm not an expert at it and it can be a bit uncomfortable, can't it?!
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is breathtaking. They all are!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning. What a wonderful trip that must have been!
ReplyDeleteWow! You slept WHERE?
ReplyDeleteI really admire people that can do that.
And I must agree with the folks above, these are gorgeous pics. This seems like such an adventure!
Oh man, I had forgotten about your sandboarding experience. I love that entry! These pictures are stunning, especially Machu Picchu and the portrait of a lady without a latte.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Peru! Your pictures look astounding.
ReplyDeleteAnd lack of depth perception gives me endless amusement too :)
I am going to have to dig around and read more of your travel adventures. You sound like the perfect travel partner.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Photos.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Lucky girl, you. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like an amazing trip! I've always fancied trekking around South America.
ReplyDeleteOh Peru, how I miss you! After England, it's the country I've spent the most time in in my life (2 months!) I think it also provides the most photo opportunities of any country - llamas! Machu Picchu! ladies in beautiful blankets!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photographs! Thanks for posting photographic evidence from your trip! I very much enjoyed following your travel adventures (and loved my llama-smelling postcard!)!. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your photos just made me want to take up on a road trip through South America. I live in Brazil, and I've been to France more times than I've been to other countries on my own continent!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks guys! I'll pass along the compliments to The Ex Boyfriend. I'm sure he'll be touched!. :)
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my favorite. Haha
ReplyDeleteHi! I have been reading your blog for a while and I had never comment till now. The pictures are great and being Peruvian I'm particularly touched about the comments of everybody wanting to go to Peru.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My family went to Peru last year and they absolutely loved it. What a great experience.
ReplyDeleteThese are so fantastic! I have this hangup about not carrying things when I'm going to be walking or hiking and as a result, I never bring a camera. All of my vacation pics were taken with my iphone, ugh, it's awful. These have inspired me to bust out the camera.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. You trip seems like it was such fun. I love that depth perception picture. I've tried doing ones like those lots of times, hehe.
ReplyDeleteOh my god! I am so jealous! Weren't you scared traveling without a guide?!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more - and see more evidence! ;)
Z!
ReplyDeleteTraveling without a guide isn't scary - I think it's the only way to go! I did this trip six months ago, you can read about it under the 'notes from the road' tab on the right. :)
that looks like such an amazing trip. your pictures capture the emotion & atmosphere so well!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to post swap! ; )
xo-
True -- lack of depth perception is a reliable form of entertainment.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible pictures!! The South American figurines I won from you are chilling with me next to the computer!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are lovely! Are you holding a goat in the very first picture? Well, whatever it is, it is a super cute picture!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo belongs in your Best Photos of My Life album. (You have one of those, right?)
ReplyDeleteErin! I didn't have one of those - until now! Thanks for the great idea - ferreting that one away for a future blog post!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA latte would have been nice after that hike. Was the Inca Trail worth it?
This is gorgeous!!! I can't wait to visit Peru!! :)
ReplyDeleteamazing pictures and hilarious captions- i love this blog!
ReplyDeleteDid you have a definite plan to follow once you got there, or did you just wing it?
