Que lindo!
Hola Brendan! Amazing shots! Some of my faves are in the Manchu Picchu, Cusco & Uros Island/Lake Titicaca albums. Looks like you've had many a blue sky. Hopefully I'm now following you.... For some reason TB isnt all that mobile-friendly...not sure if my subscription was accepted. (I'll find out I guess!) Enjoy the second half+ of your adventure!

Mui Lindo
Thank you Jackie, I will check to see if your subscription came through and add you if it didn't. I will be out of internet access for today, so it may be a bit. Thank you for following and for the comment!

Never too many cloud pictures
How wonderful to be able to cut your country into two if insurmountable problems arise! I can see this coming in very handy on a small floating island (or anywhere for that matter) Very disappointed you did not post the hat picture:( Love the colors these people wear! They jump out against the grays of the landscape and are wonderfully startling! Safe travels home, weary traveler Brendan. Thank you for taking me along, if only in spirit.

Only halfway through the trip
Thank you Jackie, The hat picture was silly and I almost posted it. Will keep on snapping pics. I am only about halfway through the trip now, so will have a lot more great adventures, dramas, happy times and freak outs to come!

Travelbloggers Rock!
Brendan, it was great meeting you here in on the lake--my first live TB encounter! Really, it was a miracle that I got through the protest blockade on my sprint from Bolivia, and that we got to celebrate my birthday and have a grand adventure out of town in the ruins today. You've also inspired me to start catching up on my blogs, you timely blogger. Looking forward to your further Peruvian adventures, and I'll see you in CA someday!

Ditto!
Thanks Tara. I think it was worth everything we (you more so than I) went through. I am looking forward to your blogs. Safe travels to you.

Fishing from home?
Ok, if that isn't the perfect spot to live. At least in nice weather. Who wouldn't want to catch lunch and consider it work? Course if you don't have anything else to eat I am sure the pressure to catch something would be intense. Now that I think about it, a trip to the store on a slow fishing day would be best for me. Thanks for the great blog and pictures. Hope you and Tara have fun tonight. T

I could see you living there Ted. Not sure how the beer brewing would go over, but I know you would make something work. And thanks, Tara and I had a great time.

You are right, you are SO NOTan Inca in a past life!!
Ok, I was practically crying at your comment about not being an Inca...no hon, you weren't and neither was I, no matter how much wine we have consumed in the past, our imaginations would never take us there!!! I love ALL of the pictures. You definitely made a much better deciison buying the camerra than space in a place where you would have had your eyes closed part of the time. Glad to hear it is going well!! Can't wait for the next installment!! Love you!

Now I am laughing too
Thanks Janie. I may have been a lot of things in a past life, but you are right, an Inka was never in the equation. Loving the camera so much, so yeah, good choice. Love you too!

Thanks Cindy.
I know Tara rocks, but you know, I might too. We had such a good time together. I do hope you get a chance to see the floating islands and Peru. It has been very interesting so far. I haven't read your new blog yet, but can't wait to dive into it.

Thanks for sharing the details about the floating islands. It was fascinating to imagine the reeds being tied or cut for big ceremonies or disputes. Also glad to hear you got to enjoy good conversation face-to-face with Taracloud. Wish we could join you!

Thanks Michelle
I was really intrigued by those islands. There is a whole culture surrounding them. And yes, it was so great to meet Taracloud. We spent the afternoon together before I had to head to the airport.

I quite literally love this entry.
Great writing and beautiful photos. Yes, you made the right choice with the camera. Your description makes me want to go back. Before taking off on this adventure, did you consider doing the Inca Trail? Just curious. Can't wait to read what's next!!

Thank you Anastasia
I feel I made the right choice. And thanks for the compliment. It is easy to write when swept up in the awesomeness of it all. To be honest, I did not look into the Inka trail at all. With the amount of time I have to travel, I didn't want to spend more than a couple days in each place. Did you hike it?

The photos are breathtaking! I love the wispy clouds.

steep vs sheer drops
Hey Brendan, really enjoyed your description of climbing Waynapicchu. At some later date I'll need to get the nitty gritty of how sheer the drop was on the climb up. Looking forward to more Peruvian tales!

Thank you so much
I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes, when I am back home, please message me. I will be happy to give you any of my first hand observations of things. They may not be what the guide book says, but will be what I actually thought. And thanks for the comment!

Zane Gray?
Hi B, couldn't help thinking of Zane Grey reading the first part of your blog. So indepth with the descriptions. Really enjoyed the blog and all of the pictures. Would love to be there with you. Although, if the opening felt small for you there isn't any way that I could fit my big carcase in there. Thanks for taking us along via your blog. T

Now that is a compliment
Zane Gray was quite a writer. I am glad you are enjoying the blogs. Not saying you couldn't make it through, but it might be a tight squeeze.

Wise choices and great to meet you!
It was great meeting you last night--my first TBer in person, and thanks for bringing the Peru book! I so admire your choices--getting up early to have MP to yourself, and also buying that fabulous Nikon rather than sleeping in the fancy hotel. You took some great photos with your toy! Also, everyone who's ever climbed Waynapicchu has said it's a bear--good for you!

Great to meet you too!
Thank you Tara, it was great to meet you too. You are my first TBer I have met while traveling. It will be a special memory. Hope you enjoyed your day here.
