Puno – Jack

Not all that much has happened since my last post so this won’t be too informative. A few days ago I was petting my wrist when I discovered that I have a cyst. It isn’t anything bad just a lovely little lump but mother wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bone spur or cancer… Continue reading Puno – Jack

Puno — Jennah

We have been in Puno for a while now, and it grows idle and slightly boring. We do have lots of hats to buy, though. The floating islands were cool, though they smelled bad.

Hayes is a… Continue reading The Longest Blog Post Ever–Or, Puno, Peru — Ryan

We had a small issue with the car not starting sometimes so Abancay seemed like the… Continue reading High Adventure in the Andes

Chicken, french fries, balloons and spinning things — Sylvia

Carnival! — Annabelle

We were driving to Cusco.  The road had lots of hills and turns and we were mostly going uphill, we made it to 15,000 feet.  We saw alpacas and chinchillas and llamas.  We were driving down the road and we made it this town called Abancay and there was a huge parade going on!  We… Continue reading Carnival! — Annabelle
