Peru trip

We went to Peru earlier this year and enjoyed visiting a different culture and landscape. Except for Lima, which is one huge city, we enjoyed everything. Highlights included a Lake Titicaca home stay with a farmer, Cuzco, the Amazon jungle, and of course one of the great sites on the planet, Machu Picchu. While I anticipated a fly over the Nazca Lines, it was too fast and I got air sick. Not much commentary this time, but a lot of photos.
