Otras Perspectivas: Our SA Adventure

One of the primary reasons that both Jon and I are undertaking our South American Adventure is to gain another perspective through which to view our life and our relationships, as well as one another. We have titled our blog otras-perspectivas (Spanish for Other perspectivas). We hope to use otras-persepectivas to remain in touch and share a piece of our adventure with those we will so greatly miss in the United States during our travels.

Name: Jon and Kristen

Machu Picchu Pictures--starring Brad Johnson, Christine Brown, Jon Ferris, Kristen Burton, Speedy Gonzoles, and one unidentified Inca Trail Bandit.

The first day everyone arrived in Cuzco, we went horseback riding and spelunking. Although the pics weren´t great, because everyone was on horseback, in the first pic, you can get an idea of who had the piggy horses. Christine and Dan´s horses are already chomping on grass before everyone is even ON!! We also shared the landscape on our ride with various barnyard animals--cows, llamas, sheep, etc.

This is a pic of the sunrise as Jon waited for the rest of the group to arrive from his hiding spot along the trail the first day.

These kids played with us as we ate lunch on the first day.

The first ruins we saw along the trail--there are many ruins before Macchu Picchu Jon´s view on his walk the second morning


Campsite, night one.

Ran out of room for pics!! Will do day 2-4 next time:)

The sunrise pics are so beautiful, they don't even look real. Having been in SA with you, I feel "closer" to your adventures in a way. What a fabulous trip we all shared. I am grateful that you had downloaded your pictures BEFORE the camera was stolen! We love looking at Pete's pics, and we've seen the video too---all of us in action, hiking, joking, relaxing. We wouldn't have experienced any of it without your careful planning and foresight. Be safe in Brazil. Love, mom/anne
