Fog at Witless Bay is actually Tors Cove That is not Witless Bay in the picture it is actually Tors Cove about 10 minutes further up the road. The picture is after some of the wharf got washed away and the big island in the back is called Fox Island.
Fishing Boats in Witless Bay is really a picture of fishing boats in Bay Bulls Hi,
I just came across your beautiful web site. You did a wonderful job taking pictures. It looks like you really enjoyed your Newfoundland vacation. I just want you to know that the picture you have captioned as "Fishing boats in Witless Bay" is really a picture of Fishing Boats in Bay Bulls. I know this for sure because my family the O'Brien's, of the tour boat fame sail out of this harbor. I have spent many days in that beautiful town. I hope you get a chance to go back to the rock again soon. If you do, take a sail with the O"Briens. You will never forget it.
Sincerely,
Betsy Tulling

Misidentified animal The photo labeled "Barb and baby vicuna" does not show a vicuna. The animal is actually an alpaca.
The young of an alpaca is a 'cria'. This term is also used for the young of the closely related species: the vicuna, the wild guanaco, and it's domestic descendant, the llama.
Alpacas were domesticated from the vicuna over 6,000 years ago for their luxurious fiber and as a major souce of protein in a harsh climate.

Just returned 10-24-05 from Peru and also did Wayna Picch, but on a rainy, misty, mystical day... Up and back in 2 hours 5 minutes - had a bus/train to catch! Returned from Peru with a cold - maybe it an altitudinal thing!
Stunning Pictures Just want to say the pictures are amazing. I love seeing what you guys are seeing yet I'm sure they're not doing what you're seeing justice! Love the rescued Cuys and the colourful Peruvian dolls! I can see you're having a blast. Sorry to hear about Steve's cold, hope you have recovered. Enjoy the next few days. P.S. I don't think I'd be climbing those steep steps! - Kim
