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
