We´re halfway there!

Against all odds, Disaster Travels has managed to make it to the halfway mark and we´re now in the coastal city of Lima (sidenote: we are no longer in Lima, just slow at posting). To celebrate, here is a collage of pictures of our travels thus far.
Proof that we actually did work in the jungle

This was clearly a bad idea


This plant grows in Manu and imitates a snake so that it can grow across pathways without getting squished by people and animals walking by. It then grows up trees.

Boats at Atalaya


At Sacsayhuaman looking over Cusco

Sidenote: I have now purchased an English-Spanish dictionary, which will accelerate my still-stilted conversational Spanish. Hopefully it will help prevent more embarassing situations from ocurring, such as last week when I was telling the cook about our pet ´carro´ at the lodge named Kaysar. Except that dog is actually ´perro´in Spanish and carro means car. Oops.





Enjoy!
