Jen and Rochelle take a whiff of some peppermint growing by the side of the path, Lake Titicaca.	Our Peru tour group puts on a fashion show in the light of the settting sun, Amantani Island.	A bunch of tired, but well-dressed dancers.	Posing with our hostess Vilma during our Amantani Island homestay.	Scott couldn't bargain another sol out of this vendor, but he did get a picture out of the deal.
The Inca Trail trekking group, before setting off, looking clean and fragrant.	At the top of the trail 3800 meters above sea level after a long first day: Jill, Robin, and Scott.	Leading a pack of llamas up the Inca Trail: Manesh and Hasmita.	We did it! Raising our arms in triumph at the top of Dead Woman's Pass.	Our guide Freddy rewards himself with a swig of rum.
Becky and John on their way up to the second pass on the Inca Trail.	The speedy one of the group at the top of the second pass: Barton.	Jill carefully descends Inca stairs with the aid of her clicking Star Wars walking sticks.	Winston tries out his back at being a porter.	John persuades a llama to move off the path. (No, he didn't, just posing for the photo!)
The "after" shot four days later, we were a bit tired and smelly, but it was totally worth it!	You can hear the ocean from Machu Picchu if you try hard enough (and chew enough cocoa leaves).	John tries out a natural rock slide at Sacsaywaman.	Jen and Rochelle stand above Cusco, Peru's famous colonial city.	Looking down into the masses accumulating in Plaza d'Armas for the Corpus Christi festival: Rochelle, Jen, John, Becky.
Our competent tour leader Raquel displays the banana-leaf-wrapped fried rice lunches we enjoyed on the boat.	Just hanging out like a bunch of peas; hammocking in Posada Amazonas, our jungle retreat.	Steve demonstrates how to catch a pirahna in 3.28 seconds.	Scott helps propel our catamaran. Seriously, it was a catamaran.	Hasmita and Manesh, in gear that we may never see them wearing again.
