7 sleeps

Just one more week until we leave for Peru and Ecuador. It promises to be an interesting trip. Cloud forests, volcanoes, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and a small group of islands west of the continent; the Galapagos. I did plow my way through Darwin's Origin of Species a few weeks ago. A dry read but I felt obligated to refresh myself on why I wanted to see this place.

Cusco and Machu Picchu are the Incan areas and filled with loads of history and culture and more than a few tourists.

Lima is fast becoming known as the culinary centre of the region and we can't wait to try some of the food. And the language.
