BUSES AND PURMAMARCA HI: Great article about your travel to Argentina and Jujuy,etc. I am planning a similar trip to Purmamarca from Salta this September and was pleased to see that it is possible to take a bus from Jujuy to Purmamarca, however, is it also possible to take a bus from Purmamarca to Tilcara and do they run on a regular basis? I was going to rent a car or a jeep but perhaps this is an unnecessary expense if the bus service is reliable. Thanks. I am returning from Jujuy to Salta and will fly from there to BA so I will remember to buy a round trip ticket.
keep em coming wow teresa. we have all enjoyed your travels so much. i'm not sure of the others, but i have learned so very much. not only about peru and its amazing sites, but also about snapshots into its culture. thank you. i have also learned some great tidbuts for travelling. oh not the type of travelling we do now ... but the travelling i hope to do in the future. again ... thank you. soldier on girl!! mike
Jealous! Teresa, I'm very envious of your trip, but especially this one to MachuPicchu. It's a place that's on the top of my list for places to visit. :)
Mmm Guinness I bet Guinness tastes just a little bit better when you're in Dublin :) Also, I'm guessing that's the Grafton St. that Halifax's is named after?
jungle crystals What you bought was a quartz geode. Quartz forms inside balls of mother rock called a geode. When you crack the geode open it is filled with crystals of quartz. If it is purple, it is amethyst, if it is clear, it is rock quartz, etc. Quartz is very abundant in s. america, so it probaly is from the peruvian jungle.
Yes that's where we ate Hi Teresa. We ended up spending most of a day in Aguas Calientes too. We were in the post internet cafe and I did some shopping because we were heading home. We did eat at the hot spring pizza place. The live entertainers were on the sidewalk between the tables and the trains. From what I have read all the textiles are handmade in Peru. I have seen photos of women sitting at looms in their yards. So you are definitely supporting the economy by shopping.
We were fascinated by the workers carrying everything through town by wheelbarrow or on their backs since there are no cars. We wondered how the busses got to AC.
amazing This looks absolutely amazing!!! One day I will get there...keep the pics coming...the journalism class at school are documenting your travels LOL
jelous as hell!! Well you made it!!!! I am so happy for you, you look great, very extatic to be in Lima. I am sooo jelous, wish I was there sipping on that drink in the sun with you.
It looks great there, love the sun and flowers, reminds me of hawiaii, same flowers. Cant wait to see the next blog.
Love and hugs
Marie
Have lots of fun
Have GPS will travel! don't forget your GPS...do you need help with maps and loading etc? When are you leaving...Peru...I am so jealous...Macchu Pichu is on my bucket list...take lots of pics
Love your pictures! You got some terrific shots of Eyup Mosque. I enjoyed reading all the blog. I spent a little over 3 wks in Turkey last Sept-OCt and can't wait to go back! This reminds me why!
World Peace When I was traveling, I felt the tension between Poland and Germand and Russia, over past wounds. Yesterday was Remembrance Day, and the world remembered these wounds/wars once again. I agree with you, money is less important than peace.
Ireland looks beautiful Hi Teresa! Your photos are fabulous. Looks like you and Heather had a great time and did a lot every day. Breathtaking... I will make a trip to Ireland one day.
poland Hey Teresa.
I hope you are feeling better by now. Quite the journey so far you are having. Love your blogs and comments under the photos. Keep them coming as I am still living vicariously through you.
Geez we look so much alike...
Tammy
scotland!! wow T!!

safe roads ...
PS we're battening down the hatches for the latest hurricane warning. lynne is sitting it out in vancouver with her brother!! LOL
Lincolnshire Hi, Tammy. I'm resting in Sutton Bridge. Didn't know that about Bono's tour and the light art. Interesting. So much literature and art alive in daily life.
animated light art I guess Bono has a grand influence on Ireland to say the least. The lit walking characters were featured in their last tour of concerts. Specifically from their latest album, the song called "sometimes you can't make it on your own" was a song written by Bono for his Dad, who recently passed away before the tour. anyway, the lights dimmed and bono sang the song, the whole while the animated walking lit artwork was walking in the background, it was so cool. Glad to see that Dubliners picked up on it and are displaying Bono's set ideas,lol.....yep, just full of all kinds of useless U2 trivia.
Where are you now?
we need to go back!!! I am surrounded by sunshine and warmth and all I can think of is how much I loved Ireland even thru the mist and the rain....I miss the music, the people, new wonderful friends, the scents in the air, I miss hanging out in the atrium at the westin dublin and enjoying the conversations with the wonderful staff there....Peter the doorman, Darragh the concierge, Avana and Roman and Katrina the bartenders, and our dear maid. I miss the mists of Northern Ireland and the magic carried in the air, the beauty of the coastline cottages....the castles, and their hauntingly beautiful ruins. I miss Ireland and everything Irish already...
Teresa, that was the most beautiful magical, funfilled laughterfilled, wonderful trip ! Thank you for navigating our way around Ireland...tell me when you are ready to go back.....Love h
Ireland Ah, yes the Clarence. We spent an afternoon in there. I love your comments and am so glad you had a great time in Ireland. I could live there I loved it so much.
We'll have lots to chat about when you settle in back home, although it's a long time a way.
Where are you off to now??
Finally covid restrictions have eased. I'm taking six weeks to bop around Europe in May and June 2022.
Past -I have a year to travel starting this summer of 2008. I will start in the United Kingdom, then cross to Ireland. Then I plan to go to Poland and Ukraine. Depending upon the political climate, I may venture into Turkey. In preparation, I have spent many hours reading other peoples' blogs. I wonder how my adventure will unfold?
