Lovely meet up, indeed!
Thanks Michelle, it was so amazing to meet a fellow Travelblogger and find Brendan as fun as his blogs. Hopefully, I'll get to meet more from our wonderful community. And I so agree that we were lucky that Pachamama felt our happy smiles were offering enough. Here's to Earth Goddesses everywhere!

TB MOMENTS
Always fun to have a TB moment...stands for Travelblog & Tara and Brendan...meant to be. Great you could each travel to meet. As usual your pics look other worldly...I've gotta return to South America one day...maybe for a TD moment.

TD Adventure--yes!
Yes, I had great fun with Brendan, so now it's your turn to head over here for some dancing adventure. Those Uros Islands were indeed unworldly--glad you liked the photos! See you soon!

What an adventure
Great pictures and wonderful descriptions. You are, as always, intrepid and clearly not afraid of heights. Hope you're doing well. Sounds as though you are. I'm fine. Vonna and I are plannig a road trip to New Mexicao in May. Ease up on July 4th! Nothing wrong with a country celebrating its heritage. Love Helga

Heritage/nationalism?
Great to hear from you, Helga! So glad you and Vonna are taking a road trip to wonderful NM--I'm sure you'll be eating in yummy restaurants. Yes, I love heights and am doing well, and you're right about the 4th. Maybe I'd like us to have fireworks twice a year. And I'm so glad we don't have generals on horseback in all the plazas like they do down here--heritage gone wild. Happy adobes!

Thanks, Ren and Drew!
The place was so incredibly photogenic--glad you liked the photo.

WOW
My kinda place...stunning. Thanks Tara for putting it on the radar
From Blog: Iruya--A Hidden Shangri-La
Off the radar, indeed.
You would love the place, Dave--very exotic and not mentioned in the Lonely Planet's Shoestring South America guide. These little places are the best!

looks simply stunning
We wish we had a luxury of so many weeks in one place to be able to explore so well....all seems so amazing and we will for sure remember to come back to your Argentinian blogs when we are back traveling in SA. Funny thing about Agentinian girls...always fun and loud where ever you go:-) cheers, B&T

High spots first.
Beata and Tomek, you two really hit all the high spots and then some in your travels. How lucky that you're young and will return. And yes, the Argentines are wild and fun where ever they are (Poles are pretty fun, too).

Tara...absolutely stupendous pictures and descriptions....so magically exotic.....another world.....Bernie

Another world, indeed, Bernie!
I'd spent time in small, isolated towns before, but they were skiing or trekking centers. This was so much more exotic. Thanks for your kind words about my blog, too.

Great to See a New Blog Tara
I was so excited when I saw this today. Not only was it an interesting, remote place that I will never go, but the pictures were incredible. I am in awe of the jump the villagers have to take each time the cross the river. Glad you had a nice time there.

My inspiration
Brendan, you were my inspiration to finally get out a blog--glad you liked it! Few tourists ever go there since it's so remote and not in many books. I, too, am in awe of those jumping the river because I trembled each time before I did it--very scary!

Nicely written.
I particularly like your usage of comma's, to control pace. We spent some time in Iruya over Easter 2009. I'm not sure whether National Geographic would class that as 16th or 21st Century. However, I do remember we had to walk into town the last few kms in the dark upon our arrival, over rocks and through a river bed with our luggage and our one-year old son. Don't recall the exact the reason, as sadly I never did get around to blogging about most of our time in South America that year. Your panorama picture also brought back memories of standing in the river bank at dawn, on our departure day, trying to get the shot back to town as the sun came up. A special town, and special memories. Thanks for this blog.

Early visitors
I suspect you visited the town before it got its bridge--yikes to cross the riverbed in the dark would have been a challenging intro to the town! I climbed all over the mountains around there, so I had tons of shots of that main part of town from a million angles. Glad you like my commas--I used to teach academic writing, which is why my grammar is fab, but my prose sometimes dry.

Wow
I can look at this photo the whole afternoon. Ok. Maybe with a cup and thermos of coffee to nourish me. Tara, such stunning photography! I have no DLSR but I'm curious what cam you are using and where you learned to take all these astounding photos!
From Blog: Ravishing Route of the Seven Lakes
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your kind words about my photos, Lili. The truth is, I'm just lucky and see beauty everywhere. I'm too lazy to use a DSLR. For these photos, I had an ultracompact Lumix. I dropped it too many times and had to replace it at the beginning of 2012, so now I have a compact Sony that I just leave on automatic. I think your photos are great also and love your adventures!

What a lovely meetup. It's lovely to hear the differences and similarities in your traveling styles. I'm glad that no offerings were made to the Earth Goddess during your visit! ;)
