Although this blog is centered around Lake Titicaca, I have to back up a bit and ease into it. I flew from Cusco to Juliaca yesterday and had an hour taxi ride to Puno, where I am staying. The flight was nondescript, but the views from the window were far from it. We flew over snow covered mountains and once we reached our final descent and I had to put my camera away, there were the most incredib... Read Full Entry

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
