Photos from Cusco and Machu Picchu


You know what? I am loving being back in the Americas. It's my first deep experience with the culture of my own continent. Every time I go out, I meet people from all the different nations that comprise Latin America and in meeting them, I not only have the pleasure of making new friends, but also, get to know more about my neighbors habits. I am seriously enjoying this experience! For example, in this picture below, where Peru is clearly on the right track for recyclingAnyway, some of you have been asking to see some pictures of our recent trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, so there you have it. Repeating what I have already said, decent photo shooting at 3,000 + meters high was a huge challenge and I did not cope with the challenge at all times... learning curves of life...

No matter where you are in the world,
grand-mothers always enjoy the
company of their grand-children.
Could this picture be more global?
I think it's a good one for UN's ads.
