Lets start from the top....

 These are pictures from ruins in Pisaq Peru.  Looking through my photos I am only now begining to realize how many pictures I actually have, I will do my best to mix them up.  As you can see the Incas were quite handy with stones, and as the second photo shows they sure knew how to pick places with a great view.  In the interest of not boring you all with pictures of nothing but scenery as well as sticking with the theme that the people are the important part of the trip I have included shots of some friends here.  The first is of two of my friends form med school that also happened to be my roommates down in Peru, Guarav and Vijay.  This picture

 also does a great job of illustrating the terracing that the Incas were famous for.  Below that is a picture of two more of my friends Lisa and Cash, they also were my roommates but at a different point in time than Guarav and Vijay.  The picture of Lisa and Cash is taken at the bottom of the ruins, getting in a few post climb Cusquenas (I don't know how to put an accent over the n but there should be one) which is a great local beer found, were else, but near Cuzco.  I kid you not that when Sunil and I were at a pretty high end bar in London later on in my trip they served ONLY Cusquenas.  I think this picture really shows how much the mountains become parts of

 these towns.  I hope you all had a great weekend and don't fret, there's much more to come so keep checking back, I won't drop the ball this time, I promise....

PS- I just have to vent for a second here but my friends and I had quite an epic party on the beach this past Saturday out in WHB and something quite upsetting occurred.  In my vast beach experience I have always placed my flip flops at the start of the sand because who wants to walk through sand in flip flops, and I never once thought twice about it (that last sentence has a nice sound to it, but I digress).  So what happened you may ask.... someone stole my brand new pair of leather Rainbows (a flip flop company).  To say I was peeved would be an understatement.  At first I thought it an honest mistake, but we were the last people on the beach and no "extra" pair of flip flops remained, meaning someone left with two pairs.....  what bad karma

Clapton is GOD....

Yeah, yeah, I know, how more cliche London can you get than Big Ben.  Well seeing as these are supposed to be representative I thought get it out of the way now....  Much much more to follow.
Cheerio

Kenya Pics

I picked this top one because who could you not love the little Masai warrior in training giving me a thumbs up?  The second picture, as odd as it is, I still think it's pretty cool.  You can be the judge of that...

Holland pic...

Unfortunately I spent the least amount of time in Holland of any country.  I really liked it there, and no not for the shallow reasons you may infer, I actually thought it was a pretty cool place.  I was fortunate enough to meet some really cool people whilst I was there so I will make an effort to share the people of my trip as well as the sights going forward.  I can thank a very nice Dutchman I met, Pablo van Wetten, for reminding me a trip is 75% about the people, 25% about the destination.  You'll meet him later on.

Italy...

This is what you do on the Amalfi coast, except that you can't see my cocktail on the table to the me left (those are some pretty SICK trunks if I do say so myself).  This was the view from my chair at my hotel, crystal clear and warm Mediterranean beckoning....  Oh, and below is just a little proof that, yes, in Italy Unicredit (the bank I worked at after Merrill) is like B of A here, except of course way cooler.  These are warm up pics so bear with me.

Peru representative Pics

 These pictures are from my time in the Amazon.  Yes, that is a Spider Monkey on my shoulder, and yes that is a picture that I took of a caiman (relative of Crocs and Alligators).  I could've reached out and touched it, but thought better of that.  Next, on to Italy....

So sorry....

 Hello again!!  I'm so sorry for the radio silence.  I've now been back in the US for just over two weeks and I have been up to a lot what with school starting etc. that this is the first chance I've had to sit down and put stuff up.  I hoped that these two pictures might pique your interest, as you can see I did in fact make it to the top of Kilimanjaro.  The picture at the bottom is the sunrise from the top of Kilimanjaro, and what looks to you like ocean is actually clouds, yes we were that high above the clouds.  In short I had a great trip and will post a few more pictures for you tonight just to get you guys a little excited to check back occasionally.  I figured that since I visited 6 countries I would post six more representative shots to give you a feel for what went

on.  I thought that going forward I would post pictures in the chronological order of my trip.  Having taken copious notes. both written and mental, along the way, I will also provide what I would call entertaining dialogue to go along with the pictures.  I hope this finds you all doing fantastically as quite frankly that is how I am doing right now.  Even if you're not good things will happen if you tell yourself you're doing fantastically, take it from me, I speak from experience.  Man that sounded cheesy....
