About the photos....

Here's a bit of info about the last batch of photos:

That's me trying the local delicacy. The locals go absolutely nuts over this, but the one I tried was a little tough. For all of you friends of furry creatures, stop reading now...
(Yes, it's guinea pig. I've tried it once more and it was more tender, but it sure doesn't fill you up. I'll stick to the alpaca steak which is excellent. Also, ironically, we came all the way to Peru to dine on Canadian trout, which many of the lakes have been stocked with.)

Our superstar team of porters in red, all devoted to these two spoiled tourists.

The view from our tent at our high camp (abuot 4800 metres) just below Salkantay Pass.

VJ, Mike and our guide Javier at the top of Dead Woman's Pass on the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.

The little blue tent is our own personal little outhouse around our pit on the trail.
