Glad that you had no problems on the Inca trek. We always leave Peru with fond memories. It is such a rich country! We are in Argentina now. We didn't enjoy Northern Chile so much, the people were not very friendly. Its off to Brazil now! Neena Hi Lily,

We enjoyed the pictures and video. You were probably more patient than we were during our visit. Dan and I are finally home! Lake Titicaca and the Inca Trek was absolutely wonderful! Thumbs down to the Colca Canyon portion of our trip. Would have to agree with you that the area is overrated. Congrats on making it to Chile! We're thinking of you two!

Hopefully you did not have that hoirrible hike in the canyon to top it off. I am just recovering from the cold I contracted by hiking around in the freezing cold. Fred, Normally hikes are quite pleasant and fun. I guess Aconcagua doesn't really count - it was a climb, not a hike? We were trying to rack our brains as to really bad hikes we have taken - Thame would certainly be up there, but the views were quite nice... Tom & Jerzy,

Fred,

Normally hikes are quite pleasant and fun. I guess Aconcagua doesn’t really count – it was a climb, not a hike? We were trying to rack our brains as to really bad hikes we have taken – Thame would certainly be up there, but the views were quite nice…

After you went through all that hardship, at least you were rewarded at the third attempt. But imagine, for those who did not plan on staying an additional day at the Colca Canyon and could not even get to see a condor? So, after all, this is pure luck. Remember, after we spent 10 days at the Manu Biosphere, we did not spot a jaguar!!. Aai Neena and Shreesh,

And a real bonus came in the little dusty town on the rim, when a procession of musicians and dancers with fern leaves around their hats showed up in the street, celebrating completion of an adobe house project.

BTW did you hear that one of those prop planes we flew into Lukla crashed killing 18 - at Lukla? This sounds even worse that that disastrous hike to Thame Nepal.

We did have lunch though, and maybe you were better off without it seeing that it was a semi-rancid alpaca curry. And, it was on Thanksgiving day to rub salt into the wound.
