Machu Picchu Some gorgeous shots from the top of the world Cindy, that has to be very inspirational. Looks like you are not having any problems with the altitude. You are also having some fantastic weather.
Manu Adventure What a wonderful and inspiring adventure. Looks like it was not for the meek since you were the only guests there. Would have been nice to compare notes with other visitors but it appears you had their undivided attention there. Had to put you back into a primordial state of minds. I think it was better than going to Lake Titicaca, which is a totally different type of experience. Continue to have a wonderful time and enjoy your trip and learning. Quite a bit of birds there. Did you know that one spring at the wet lands in my backyard I counted 32 speices of birds one morning while having coffee.
Argentina Sorry to hear about your rental car episode. the passport situations between countries sure makes it a challenge. Europe sure has mad travel a lot easier. Great pics from the view hotel and love your lake hike pics. European influence sure makes traveling there interesting with the wines, beers and chocolates.
Travel Adventures Loved the photos from the last couple of days. The lake district is just spectacular as far as the scenery and the old German influence. As far as there is so much culture in the cities, I still love some of the more remote areas and smaller towns. The pizza looks delicious.
Chiloe Island Glad to see you blending in with the locals except for your driving. I also had a almost driving disaster with one way street. Sorry to hear about you getting sick. Love the color of the boats, is there any significance to the colors? Looks like you are also having some wonderful weather.
Adventures in traveling Looks like you are sure encountering your share of challenges. Laying on the beach with a tropical drink will not give you the kind of cocktail conversations you have encountered. Wishing you the best on the rest of your stay in Chile, looks like a beautiful country. I guess there are cultural differences between countries ,more than you run into in Europe. Stay safe.

great pictures from sugar loaf Do you guys have an apartment while in Rio. Original post talked about an apartment and then I read that you may be staying at a hotel near the beach area??
IIha Grande Love the pictures and it appears quite splendid there. Glad you are having some relaxing times even though the bus rides are a challenge. It appears that south of the border always had run on their own time compared to the traditional European and American sense of time.
Great Photos Love the old architecture Cindy. Great photos of the area. Colonia does seem a lot slower and more relaxing. Appears that you are learning a lot and having a wonderful experience.
back to basic I like the suggestion of bringing a paper notebook. I got so use to keeping everything in my tablet, but sometimes it's not a good ideas to use the tablet in some unsafe area.
Fantastic Architecture Love the pictures that you are taking. Love your commentary as it seems like there is a new adventure every day. The buildings are awesome considering how old they are and how well built they were.
Adventures in traveling Glad to see that you are seeing some wonderful sites. There is so much rich history there that most Europeans don't get to enjoy. Have fun on your travels.
