Infierno - Outside of Puerto Maldonado, Peru.

 There are robbers in the jungle, you have to watch out......


.....they steal from bags when you are not around.

She got what she wanted and now he is leaving red handed.

And now she is dinner.










 Hexagons in plants, I have never seen this before.

In the back is where you can travel when there are no seats left.

Artworks I bought in Cusco that I hope make it home in the mail..........

 This is a painting of a doll which was part of an Incan sacrafice. It was found on a mummy of a child buried next to a mountain in Chile, as an offering.

I don't know what this is, a mountain according to Pablo Picasso?

This is a design from the Nascar Racing track in The United States, or the Nazca lines in Peru. I always get those two mixed up.

The House of Naysheti

 This is a house made of stones. In Urubamba, 1 hour out from Cusco, Peru. Naysheti lives here.

She works with plant medicine and has lots of experience.

 

 












A spider lives under the kitchen sink.



 Naysheti and I. I have a nice poncho now.

We met five years ago in the jungle.





The Sacred Valley - Urubamba, Cusco, the road...

Chickens in a bag, chickens in a bag!

Chickens in a bag getting ready for the bus. Things have changed since the chicken buses of the olden days where the chickens travel with the humans like Indiana Jones films. It would have sucked to be one of these chickens.

Inca  Cola. Fresh as the winds of the pan pipes. Made by Coca Cola now.

I am not sure I understand electricity now. I suppose it's turned off.

Dog in Pisac.

Cabbage field in Urubamba.




Ollantaytambo archeolical site from the ground.




Ollantaytambo still. Law suits I would imagine aren't common here. You could break a leg if you don't watch where you are going.



Cusco mural. 

This guy has a pipe dream........to remain living.

Inca Transormer Logo.

Kinder land. Like kindergarten, but kinder.

I asked them if they spoke English. They said they do. Correct.

Their wholegrain bread here is for bimbos. It is full of sugar and has a puffy white mascot showing you what adding sugar does to you.


This is at a special stone in a wall in Cusco called "The 12 Angles", deservedly so. It was so compicated to make so many angles that the stone now magically makes anyone taking a photo near it look like an idiot. Naturally I did a reverse idiot pose making me appear completely normal here.


"Analfabetismo" means illiteracy. At first I thought there must be something called "Fabetismo" that can have a prefix added. This photo is funny because whoever did graffiti on the wall can't read or write well enough to get the irony. That's sad.

On their hills in Urubamba they write things I don't understand.

A band playing in Cusco.
