To use a cliché, a picture is worth a thousand words

As promised, here are some pictures from the last few days of our time in Peru--enjoy!


The Sacred Valley


Walking around Ollantaytambo (there was no possible way to get an all-encompassing shot of the site--it's too big!)


Jordan, the renowned explorer, in front of the ruins of Macchu Picchu; the mountain in the background is Huayna Picchu (the "young mountain")


Katie and I were trying to get a picture with a llama at Macchu Picchu, but it wouldn't pose for the camera...


Some of my favorite moments on the trip came when we all got nice and cozy in the taxi vans. On this occasion, all twelve team members (including Dr. Hank and Terrance) squeezed into this van, even though we're not all visible in this picture. We had just as much fun later on with Rolando and Wilmer when we tried (and succeeded, if not very comfortably) to fit all twelve of us along with all our luggage into a van and a small car. : )


Mike and Zack at the temple of Saqsaywaman (not to be confused with "sexy woman")


Traditional music and dancing at Tunupa--it was so wonderful that I was constantly close to tears (sigh of contentment)


On a street in Lima: you can always pick out the tall gringos in a crowd of Peruvians...


Jordan with our extremely hospitable new friends in Lima, Rolando and Wilmer
