Home Sweet Home

Sacred Valley, Peru

Machu Picchu, Peru

I loved seeing the Andes stretch across South America. Busing to and from Argentina was my first opportunity to the mountains up close. They looked like huge, solid rocks contently settled in the middle of the hundreds of lakes, with jungle vegetation slowing creeping up their sides. In Chile and Argentina, I went caving. Then in Peru, I went on a short hike. But--as much as I loved the Andes--I still  smile when I wake up in the morning and see this greet me in my window...

Chacos, how I love thee

Ain't Nothin' Like The Night Life

Late parties and long nights have prompted me to take some pictures of the city at night. I normally take quite a few before I can capture one that I like, but they are some of my favorites of all my traveling photos. Here are just a few examples. Valparaiso at night.

Too Many Photos. Too Little Time.

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with posting on the blog. I haven't in a couple days due to a lack of internet or time...or both. Here is a glance at some of the things we saw in Valpariso and Vina del Mar--my futile attempt to summarize a beautiful city in just a few photos.

Bring on the Ugly Pictures

In traveling to a new city (or new country) everyday, we have become quite familiar with sleeping in an upright position, eating junk food and well...not showering. Producing some of these lovely photos.
Preparing for our 24 hour bus ride from Bariloche, Argentina to Santiago, Chile.
After touring Vina del Mar and Valparaiso for 14 hours.
Flying to Peru.
In the Lima airport. Our favorite place in Lima (and the only place we have seen so far).

Why have a blog, if not to post horrible photos of yourself?

Back in Chile

For those wondering, Tiffany and I survived the 24 hour bus ride. We are in Valparaiso for a day and a half, then going back to Santiago on Monday...then PERU!

Been There. Climbed That. Spit Off The Top Of It.
