Back from Peru

Here's a choice few images from my trip to Peru. I dragged my tripod up and down Machu Piichu unmolested but since I had been hooked up to a tour group I never got to use it. You have to keep up with a moving guide and I never did have time to set up. But it's OK, there were lessons to be learned, because I want to do it again. :P
One of the issues I had asked UH about, regarding being able to charge my batteries, turned out to be non-issues. Most chargers, I found out, can be used 110v or 220v. And the plugs in Peru didn't need an adaptor. I was able to plug everything I need from Apple and Canon right into the wall, no problem.
I want to thank everyone that gave me feedback.
Aside from these selected images here is also a link to a flickr. com slide show. If you view it Fullscreen so much the better.
Peace... 8-)

Looking down on Cuzco proper from Saqsaywaman. Elevation3,701 m (12,142 ft) It's curious to note that Machu Piichu's elevation is only 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level in comparison.

You have to go. Some of the places I went to were so beautiful I was fighting back the tears. It's a magical place that will transform you, believe me!

Very nice. Love that sunset.
Thank you!
We had some drinks and appetizers in this restaurant, La Rosa Nautica, that juts out into the sea. It's one of the finest in Miraflores, Lima. It's expensive but well worth the treat.
