Day 97

12 Apr 2018 (Maras, Peru): We’re having an over-the-top, 8-course lunch today at a very new (6 weeks) restaurant in the area. The chef owns Central in Lima, which we learned on the Netflix show, Chef’s Table, is one of the 5 “best” restaurants in the world. He’s a big deal, I guess. 🙂 This […]

Day 96

11 Apr 2018 (Urubamba, Peru): We’re staying in a really lovely B&B in the Sacred Valley, and we caught a minibus into the main town for lunch. We also walked around the big local market. It was a lot like the other markets we’ve seen in South America. And now we are trying to catch […]

10 Apr 2018 (Moray, Maras, Peru): On our drive from Cusco to the Sacred Valley, we stop at a couple of sites. I’m particularly intrigued by this one.

9 Apr 2018 (Inca Trail, Peru): We got extremely lucky with our group. In the past few days of hiking, I’ve had conversations with everyone, and there’s no one I’d try to avoid. We are 4 Americans, 2 Eastern European immigrant Brits, 3 Irish, and 2 Germans. And I am one of the 5 people […]

8 Apr 2018 (Inca Trail, Peru): The Inca Trail porters are ridiculous. Our group is 11 trekkers, 2 guides, and 17 porters (each company uses a different color, ours are in red). 500 people are allowed on the trail at a time, and about 300 of those are typically porters. Ours are carrying 25 kilos […]

Day 92

7 Apr 2018 (Inca Trail, Peru): This hike is magnificent. Much of the path looks like it was laboriously made by hand (it was), the mountains are stunning, and the clouds have a mind of their own. Today is supposed to be the hardest day of the trek. We have about 4 hours uphill (to […]
