No pics of guinea pig lodgings or frozen girl?
Brendan how could you have the rare opportunity to view elaborate guinea pig castles and be so selfish as to keep their loveliness all to yourself? Hmm? Oh well. The funeral towers sound amazing! And the food is not so exotic, Alfredo pasta and antipasti! Seems one doesn't have to stoop to luring guinea pigs out of their castles when one is hungry after all! The convent is lovely but you really peeked my intreat with the frozen girl. Again, no pic?! Sigh. I'm sure you'll do better next time :)

Only YOU could get the best day!!!
God was truly blessing you by having that many condors for you to see. You are much closer to a condor than an inca.... LOL! I am so happy that you are out experiencing that amazing country and trying out most of the local delicacies.... Miss you and keep sending these GREAT updates!!

Looking at the bright side, I guess that they at least have good homes before they're placed on the grill . . . :)

Lol, that is so true Michelle. Now I don't feel so badly for having enjoyed one in a rich sauce.

Over-stimulated!
Brendan, impossible to share all my thoughts and questions dreamily floating in my head. Thanks for 'packing us in your suitcase' with a writing style that puts the reader there with you. Awesome pics! Thank you!

Thank you so much
I really appreciate that. And as for llamas and vicunas, the vicunas are smaller, are pretty much all the same color and are wild. Check them out though, they are pretty interesting.

How do you tell a llama from a vicuna?
I think I need to look that up. Sounds like an absolutely amazing day! Just realised the comment title sounds like the start of a bad joke :)

Yay Condors!!
How wonderful to see those amazing majestic birds soaring in there natural environment rather than perched in a tree behind glass, or stiff and unmoving as an ornament at the natural history museum. I must confess I get excited at the site of the turkey buzzards circling in the open space near my house! I don't think I could bring myself to eat rodents but the natural hot springs sounded divine! A pox on the bad hair day that resulted! it was worth it! Carry on traveler Brendan! I await, with great anticipation, your next adventure!

I´m sorry you missed them as well
Taracloud and I spoke of your travels while we were together. Thank you for the compliment. I really enjoyed the Colca Canyon, but as you noted, it was not done inexpensively. I am glad you were able to enjoy Arequipa and Machu Picchu. Great pictures, although it is crappy that you lost most of your shots. Thank you for the comment.

Amazing shots!
Oh, Brendan, I am loving this trip. The pictures of the condors were amazing! How majestic they must look in reality! You must be pinching yourself at the luck that you had in seeing them like this. I about died laughing when I read about your bad hair experience. I can just see you all wild looking! :0) Your blog is wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to write. Love, Connie

You will have to take me at my word on the cuy lol. It was cut up into small pieces on a buffet, so wouldn´t have made a good picture.

Magnificent!
I had tears in my eyes when we saw the Condors. It was destiny that allowed you to see so many of the birds of wonder that fly the Colca Canyon. An amazing canyon itself but the real attraction are the Condors. I tried those little rodents in a stew. Couldn't tell you what they really taste like as the piece was microscopic and I was happy about that. Glad you are chatting with new people and making some new friends.

From reading your blogs and seeing how rich your experiences are, I have made an effort to come out of my shell. Thanks. And thanks about the hair. It was a small problem, but I am glad it wasn´t noticeable.

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona. The next big adventure is a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This will once again i... full info
