Camerowska traveling :)

Today we wanted to go do some sightseeing in Lima.
Although I have to say we were quite disappointed - since in the center there was not much to see. Apart from the big plaza where we have seen the change of guards in front of the President's palace & some famous Lima-balconies.

It was just like a totally empty city centre - which seemed like no real PEOPLE were spending their time there… It was even hard to find a decent restaurant, so finally we decided to take a cab all the way back to Miraflores where we came from - and to go to the shopping mall by the ocean (where we went the night before) - as there were plenty of nice small restaurants.

And yes… there we have overdosed on seafood… It was INSANE. I ordered a starter + main course. the starter was a crab with parmesan and white wine - from the over, I thought I would get a lousy little crabby… I was clearly wrong, since when my plate came it turned out to be 2 huge crabs + mussels. All looked lovely, and tasted even better. but was by NO MEANS what my idea of an APPETIZER was - I was absolutely full after eating that,. Even though Chris helped me a bit.

Chrisse's stuffed avocado:

And then our MAIN courses am… Paellas….

Now.. you might think a paella is rice + some seafood… Clearly in Lima they got it wrong - since it was MOUNTAINS of seafood + a tiny bit of rice. NOT that we would complain. it was all delicious, full of lobsters, mussels, squid, clams, prawns, octopus etc etc. LOTS of it all… And of course we couldn’t squeeze all that in… haha, then a waiter came, and he was begging us to let him take the lobsters back to the kitchen, so they could break the claws for us there… And we were so full we weren't sure we would even manage to eat them. Eventually, we agreed to break the claws ourselves and attempted to eat it all...
It was just TOO MUCH of great seafood! Enough for 3 meals actually!

After that it was tieme to go to the airport… The holiday is officially OVER :-( :'-(

and here;s THE last pickie from Peru... a little girl which was flying with her parents with us back to Amsterdam... together with her pet-guinea-pig . She was so cute, I had to ask the parents if I could take a pic of her:

In the morning we flew from Cuzco to Lima. It was actually funny, as we kept on meeting random people form our previous trips - the Americans (Marie & Matt) - from the Canyon & Titicaca trips & the 2 Belgian boys (Steven & Tom) Canyon trip). Also, the night before, in Cuzco, we ran into the same Americans + the 2 Icelanders. We happened to have chosen the same restaurant for dinner (from our Lonely Planets, how else ).

It's almost the end of our trip . tomorrow night flying back home

We first went to our hotel - El Patio. he patio was nice indeed - with lots of flowers and little birds in cages. But the room was really small, and the bed even smaller. It was supposed to be a double room, but it looked more like a single :-S

here's some pickies of the hotel:

After checking in we took a cab to the Barranco district of Lima - which was supposed to be relatively safe (unlike other parts of the city - especially after dark!). We first went for lunch to La Rustica - restaurant recommended by a friend (thanks Simon!).

It was buffet with dishes from all over Peru, all you can eat. Needless to say, we got stuffed like turkeys (what else is new!).

Later on we walked around Barranco

the ocean:

Later on we went to another district - Miraflores - where our hotel was located, It was so pretty - by the ocean.

later on, at sunset, some paragliders started flying by:

we had some drinks at the modern shopping mall by the ocean:

after that we went to one of the best restaurants in Lima - one built on it's own pier by the ocean - where we overdosed on seafood - it was delicious:

In the morning, as promised, we got picked up from our hotel by Milton (our 'private driver') we drove with the day before.
We set off - pretty much the same way as yesterday - in the direction Ollantaytambo - towards Salineras. These are salt pans, which have been in use since the pre-Inca times. The salt comes from a naturally-salty stream which springs from a mountain.

Salineras, view on the pans form above:

Salineras:

The stream is directed by a complicated network of canals through a system of pans (i.e. rectangle-shaped ''baths'', of the size of 3x4m each (more less).
When I said the stream was salty, I meant REALLY SALTY. So salty, that in no time we were both covered in a white salt layer - together with our cameras and clothes. Whatever you touched, was salty - I felt like a salty-Midas-king .

the salty stream:

the pans:

salt:

Haha, that was actually paradise for me (ones of you who know me well KNOW, that I have a bit of a salt-addiction ).
Little crystals of salt were to be found everywhere. It was quite hard to walk through the pans - only along the very narrow paths. It all looked very cool. On some pans, the READY ones, there were workers who were scratching the white salt layer off - until the red soil would show.
They told us that from each pan, 20-30 kg of pure salt could be obtained every 2 weeks. And there were 3000 pans which were still in use. Do your maths

After the Salineras, we went further on, through the town Maras to Moray. Moray was true Inca laboratory. Although it looked more like some aliens had made it

The Incas dug a system of terraces - concentric circles - getting smaller and smaller.

Due to a very special microclimate in that spot, they could achieve temperature differences of even 2-3 degrees C between different terraces (of 1-2m deep). They used this ''lab'' to test different types of crops - on how they would grown in various conditions.

It was VERY cool to look at, and VERY tiring to walk through. Walking down wasn't even that BAD. It was just difficult - as the steps between the terraces were of the Inca type = they were pieces of rock sticking out of the wall. Funny funny! But walking down was a PAIN! Especially that it was definitely above 25 degrees and the weather was really nice.

me in the middle:

After Moray we went back to Cuzco with our friend Milton

on the way:

Cuzco, Plaza de Armas:

at our hotel in Cuzco (los Marqueses):

In the morning we had a plan to catch a taxi to go to Ollantaytambo, It was pretty far (80km from Cuzco), but we still thought we would manage. We namely didn't feel like taking a public BUS, go together with chickens and other funny creatures, and change on the way.

On the basis of the guidebooks we calculated it should costs something like 40$ to go there by cab.
However, to our surprise: no taxi wanted to take us... They all kept saying it's too far and that we should go to the bus station. The whole time, there was this guy following us, who (we thought) wanted to take us on a tour or something like that. Since he was bothering us, we ignored him and continued looking for a cab. He heard however where we wanted to go.

And just when we lost the hope that we will manage to find any cab, he came again, and said he can take us to Ollantaytambo with his car. It was just a private guy with a private car. The guy (Milton as he told us later) was round (?) 50-60 (it was hard to say for us, since Peruvians tend to look older than they actually are because of the sun). He probably had nothing better to do, and driving was an easy job - for his age.
Finally, we asked him for the price of going to Ollantaytambo, staying there for the sights & going back. It was something like 25$ or so. haha, way less than we had thought!
btw: our friend Milton could only speak Spanish + aVERY few English words - t was so funny to communicate with him

There were some gorgeous views on the way - i.e. the snow-capped mountains.

5 min later we were on our way by his OPEL to the Ollantaytambo ruins.

The weather wasn't very nice (there was no sun whatsoever - everything looked grey). The ruins were high on a mountain. A lot of climbing was involved… and it was NOT easy at 4000m above sea level - despite the fact we have already gotten used to it a BIT. but we heard it actually tajkes 1.5 years until your body has adjusted...
haha, we kept on stopping for ''picnics'' every 5 min = lazy us

ruins:

Chris showing how he brought there all the rocks on his back (by the way: the parts sticking out of the rocks: are still unfinished, they are the remains of the ''handles'' that the Inkas used to move the huge rocks around):

Peruvian national flower:

After the sighs & lunch we went back to Cuzco with our fiend Milton . It's VERY handy to have a private driver! And this one was almost as cheap as the one we had in Delhi in India

When we arrived safely back in Cuzco, we asked Milton to pick us up from the hotel also the FOLLOWING day - as we wanted to go to Moray & Salineras - and there were no other (easy) ways of getting there other than by car .

today we took a taxi from Cuzco 11km up to Tambo Machay - another Inka ruin. This time it was Inka baths. Again, the finest stonework with no mortar. Tambo Machay had a series of gullies and pools - where the Inka noble men would perform the physical as well as ritual cleansing.

Then we walked back to Cuzco past the other 3 Inka ruins. First one was Pucha Pucchara. An Inka hunting lodge. Looked a bit like European castle ruins - with the only difference it was again the Inka stonework

After more walking we got to Quenko. It was a VERy cool ruin. It consisted of a HUGE rock (oprobably like 20m long and 10m wide).

It was carved by the Inka´s as well as erosion. It was full of big holes - looked like a lace.

It had caves underneath, a small amfitheatre and also a place for ritual offerings.

There was a zig-zag carved in the rock. It was THE coolest part of the ruin.

Inka priests used to pur llama blood into the zig-zag. It woudl flow down, and lower: split in 2. Depending on through which of the 2 zig-zag endings the blookd woudl flow out of first, they predicted whether it would be a good year for crops or not. Of course I wanted to try checking that as well - and poiured my water into the zig zag. And (of course) it showed the negative omen. haha, lucky it was not the llama blood i was checking it with

Chris was laughing his ass off when i also lost both my water bottles while climbing the rock. Thye both (one by one) fell out of the outside pockets of my bacpkack and it was a bit of an excercise to find them back in one of the deep holes of the rock

the last ruin was Sachsaywhoman (oir something close to that, sorry cant remember the spelling) - in any case u pronouce it SEXY WOMAN . It was a huge ruin. 3 zigzags of rock walls, 20m high, paralelly runnig for 600m. The ricks there were bigger than any pother rocks we have seen in these ruins before - some 20m high and a good 4m wide. The heavist rock is supposed to weigh 300tons!
The ruin is even visible on Google Earth. It was very beatuful. And also, there was a great view on Cuzco from the hill

after walking all those 11km and climbing different rocks/ruins we are quite tired

yesterday was the highlight of our trip - i.e. we went to Machu Picchu.
You can get there only by train (or by walking the Inka Trail for 4 days, which we were not much up to). We booked a so called Vistadome train - i.e. with windows in the ceiling so we could see the scenery. The train was leaving at 6.00am from Cuzco, and we had to be there at 5.30 :-S = yet another day of getting up at a crazy hour

to our disappointment, our assigned seats on the train were just in between 2 windows - which were positioned in such a way we could see basically NOTHING form the seats. but (LUCKY BASTARDS WE ARE): i went to talk to the train guy to ask whether the train was full and whether we could change our seats. the train WAS full, but neverthekless he arranged us two other seats - since 2 people didnt show up. And these wre (oficially) THE BEST 2 seats of the whole train. It was namely the very first car of the train, and we had the front seats, facing the direction of the ride, with a huge window in front of us!!! needless to say: happy Marta - and again, LOTSIE pictures taken on the way. It was beaurtiful - with mountains everywhere - first we went up the montains above cuzco, and later descended into the Sacred Valley of the Inka´s

TRAIN RIDE:
switchbacks - on the way up from Cuzco:

and switchbacks again - this time to descend to the Inca valley:

the VISTADOME train (windows in the ceiling):

at a station, local woman were selling hats to the tourists form our train

snowy caps:

and it was about to get even better - since it was the Machu Picchu day. Machu Picchu is the lost city of teh Inka´s - one which was never found by the Spaniards when they invaded the country, but only re-discovered in 1912. It was absolutyely gorgeous - no wonder, since it´s one of the 7 winders of the world

the lost city is entrirely made of stone - the traditional Inka way with no mortar, with huge blocks of rock made to fit each other tightly. Amazing. All situated between the mountains, with snow- peaks on the horizon and clouds/mist above. Gorgeous, i dont think i can even explain that - only pictures might show SOME of the beauty we´ve seen

some PANORAMAS:

temple of The Sun:

a rock that the Inca's wanted to split (and did not finish) = they would put wood in the holes and saturate it with water, so it would split the rock

terracing:

llamas:

this is an IMAGE of the Huayna Picchu (mountain) the Incas carved in a rock:

the so-called SUN DIAL - which in fact it is not [i.e. it was not used for assesing the time]. Most sacred piece of rock at the Machu Picchu. The Incas used it for assesing the rainy/dry season (only on the summer solistice the sun would cast a certain shape of a shadow on the rock):

a lizard:

Machu Picchu - ruins of a house (the thingies sticking out of it were used to tie the roof to the house):

our guide:

The Condor Temple (condor image on the ground)

Condor temple:

The Air Temple:

llamas:

that's the road from Aguas Callientes - that we went up to through by bus:

Chris in the cave under the condor temple:

the only reconstructed roof at Machu Picchu:

and the weather was beautiful as well - must have been like 30 degrees in the sun. we were looking for shadow all the time

we stayed there the whole day, until our train back to Cuzco at 17.00. It was a very long (4h+) and cold journey (oh well, we got used to freezing in the evenings)

im hoping to be able to upload SOME pickie at least

In the morning we went to an Inca--museum. We have also seen weaving women & men

We have bought our Machu Picchu train tickets (by the way: of course they messed up our booking - which I had made on the internet AGES before - but they re-booked us for another train in the end)

Cuzco by night:

In the evening we went to the (according the Lonely Planet) THE best place for eating guinea pigs…

today we went by taxi to Pisac (30km away from Cuzco).

Each Sunday there´s a fmous market there - with the people from the highlands coming down to sell their produce and exchange it for other goods they cannot produce themselves. There´s also a huge artesania market where we stocked up on nice stuff. E.g. i got some (MORE) jewelerry which is gorgeous here and all hand made from natural stone/plants (beans, roots, coconuts, wood etc)

we spent there quite some time walking around. Of course we took some pickies of funny Peruvian people - ladies wearing their 5 skirts & funny ``backpacks`` which were in fact pieces of colorful fabric in which they would wrap whatever they were carrying on their back

guinea pig:

market:

coca saleswoman:

after the market we got our first collectivo (i.e. shared car) to the ruins in pisac. its a common thing in Peru that people share a taxi - it was funny. haha, i think we will stick to taxis anyway, but it was funny to try

getting up to the ruins involved climbing. and the biggest problem was not the fact that it was steep or goig up (as we have already gotten used to the altitude by now).

haha, it was so cool: it was actually at times very difficult to go up. We had to follow some arrows/paths. They were not always very clear. Ince we ended up on a VERY bad path up where we were basically rolling down with small stones. it was NOT easy to do with a 1.5kg SLR camera with zoomlens o my neck :-S. haha, end evil Chris instead of being supportive was taking pictures of me being stuck half way

and then we got to a funny staircase and a very narrow path. must have been like 0.5m wide, and it ended on one side with a cliff. so you could actuyally look down into the valley - hundreds of meters beow.

view form the top of the stairs:

Chris was laughing that it would b a bad death to go down, since you would first roll through a lot of cactuses before finally getting down

luckily we didnt fall. it was SO COOL to walk. Simon, for your sake, we did all the parts of the ruins .

Peruvian national flower:

oh yes. and we had a very ``funny`` taxi driver on the way back to Cuzco. The road was one long serpentine with very rapid turns all the time. And the crazy guy was going 90km/h at times. We had to hold on to the seats, and a few times it got ``funny`` when there woudl b dogs/cars/holes in the road popping up unexpectedly in front of us. funny ride...

thats all for today . we r tired after all the rock climbing

so (yet again) we had to get up early today and took a 6am taxi to the airport.
now we are in Cuzco - the "navel of the world" for the Inca´s and the their capital

our hotel is really nice

our first room:

our 2nd room:

We went to Koricancha (the Temple of the Sun) of the Inca´s.


img=http://lh5.google.com/marta.komorowska/Rm0x7KqLDoI/AAAAAAAABL4/8BWdPDzaiCQ/070519-125224-Marta%20Ixus%20%2840%29.JPG?imgmax=720]

There used to be the huge sacred sun-disc made totally of gold. Also, all the chambers of the temple were "wall-papered" with gold, there were real-size figurined of humans, llama´s, plants - everything in small detail up to the tiniest pieces of the ground. No wonder none of that survived the Spaniard´s invasion. They only didnt take the sun-disc - and the legend says its still hidden somewhere in the mountaiuns.
The whole city of Cuzco was built by the spaniards on the foundations of the Inca stonework. The inca´s didnt use mortar - they onlyu could cut the huge blocks of stone to fit each other so closely that theìr buildings were very firm. The Spaniard´s built their buildings on top of these foundations, and most of them collapsed during the hige earthquake in the 1650. And the Inca foundations remianed intact.

We walked around the city later on.

Cuzco, Plaza de Armas:

Went to the artsy-district of San Blas as well, and wandered around the whole day

The famous 12-angle stone

now ate a huge dinner (again) and are off back to the hotel now

we had sort of a problem deciding on today´s post´s title. there were actually a few very close contestants running for the title-title. in random order that would be:

• LLAMA LLAMA TITICACA (which should actually be Titikhakha) - we found out during the trip that the way we woudl always pronounce the name of the lake was totally wrong. In the Quechua language Titi meant PUMA(very important animal for the Inca´s beliefs). So Titicaca the way we pronounce it usually means actually puma´s poo.... hmmm... The correct pronoounciation is Titikhakha - which means grey puma
• LLAMA LLAMA VOCA LOCO (crazy cow) - since at a certain moment we were chased by a crazy cow on the Taquille island. On a 1m narrow part which had stone 1m walls on both sides. It ran away from the oner and was angrilly galloping down the mountain. And when i say a COW i actually mean somethinh with big horns in the front which kicks all over the place with its back legs. Luckily we managed to jump up some large rock just before it passed by
  

sorry, the pic couldn't have been any clearer - I was running AWAY from the beast :

• LLAMA LLAMA PEE-POT - hahha, YES, for the first time since we were likje 2 yrs old we had to use one. IT WAS SO HILARIOUS. i cant stop laughing (crying rather!) when i think about it. This was while we were staying on the island Amantani for the night at a family house. They had an "out-house" toilet outside of their little house + yard. A yard which was locked at night. And yes, according to the Murphy`s law: of course that was JUST the time we each neded to go to the toilet.
• LLAMA LLAMA POTATO - since we had an overdosis of carbs in the last 2 days - in the form of a potato. At the family house where we were staying at on the Amantani island. Haha, no wonder. Since >Peru boasts over 3000 (three thousand!) types of potato that they grown, and 20 different ones on the small Amantani island. Evertyhing contained a potato. Potato in the soup, potato with ice (!), potato stew etc. Not that it wasn´t tasty (the quinoa - Peruvian grain- soup we had there was THE best ssoup of the stay so far), but it was just a bit too much of potato for 2 days.

anyways... back to the actual trip. On the 1st day we first went by boat from Puno to the islands mader by the Uros Indians of reeds.
Titicaca lake:

Uros Islands:

reeds:

it was SO COOL: they showed us how they make them too.



Everything was of reed - the island, the boatsm, the houses etc. Such a funny thing to see. It was also funny to walk on the islands on all the reeds

Puma (titi) boat - made of reeds of course:

Later on we went further on by boat to the Amantani island.

Where our group got split up between different families. Our family consisted of a woman + her 2 daughers (of +/- 15 - Nina & 4 - Lis).

Lis:

ur host-mom:

licence of our host-mom

Lis showing us her doll:

We still dont know where her husband was. Or the husrbands of all the other host-women for that matter. We played with the little daughter a bit. Gave them the gifts we brought (apples, oranghes, rice, milk, candles, matches, sunscreen).

our host-mom in the kitchen:

We had lunch. As said above, including the best soup. All served in clay bowls.

And potatos and those funny Ocha thingies (a root looking like a yellow/red carrot). The house of the family was actually pretty horrible. Like 100+ yrs in Europe at poor families. Toilet outside, no running water, no electricity. All was cooked an a wood oven. All dirty and very basic. I cant imagine how these ppl live there like that... Our room was nothing special but visibly better than everything else.

We had 4 beds in the room. VERY basic. will put here the pics whenever i can. it was very cold there too.

The yard in our host-family's house:

We got lots of MUÑA tea (some funny herb, the tea tastes a bit like mint tea but better). by the way. our family had a guinea pig (an alive one).

They (including the 4yr old girl) were laughing so much at us gringos chasing the thing in the kitchen to take a picture of it
The host-woman coudl actually speak spanish (hha, way more than we coudl at least) - as opposed to most people tyhere who usually only speak Quechua language

Amantani host-women:

Later on we climbed up the mountain on the island with our group.

There were 2 peaks - with 2 temples. We climbed the one with the Pacha Tata [father Earth] temple.

It was quite steep at times (i´d say 60 degrees angle). it was a 45min-1h climb. It might sound like not much, but at 3800-4100m above sea level even 5 steps can let you short of breath. Not to mention that climb. Our guide was explaining things to us as well. It was really interesting. And at the top we were rewarded with a great sinset over the snow-peaked mountains and the lake. Amazing views!

Pacha Tata temple:

no electricity in our room:

Later on we got dinner at home (yes, with more potatos!), and went for a DANCE with the whole group + the villagers. All of us gringos were dressed by the families in the traditional island clothing. Chris had a red poncho.

And i had 2 skirts (yes, now i know what makes these women look so hmhm BIG - haha the 2 skirts immediately give you an impression of great child-bearing hips ). Both skirts were very thick and woolen. With (surprisingly) the underneath skirt being nicely embroided than the top one). + a funny blouse and a black shawl. So funny.
I couldnt even breathe in that (the woman tied a wide belt around my waist - REALLY tight). And trghen the dance began. It was acommpanied by the katzen-musik band "playing" on the drums and the funny south-american flutes. And then we had to dance with the villagers. Sooo funny. And so exhausting!

After the dance we went home. The way back home was funny (no electricity, and all a steep walk up along a labirynth of paths). IT WAS SOOOOO COOOLLLLLDDDD at the house. It was below zero that night (the guide said the water was freezing). ANd the window above my bed wa sbit broken and the courtain was moving in the wind... NICCCEE. I couldnt sleep at all first as i was waiting for that moment when you get a bit warmer and u fall asleep. Which never came. It must have been no more than 5 degrees in the room.

anyways. we still woke up next morning so that was a good sign.

The host families went down to the boaths to say goodbye to us:

after breakfast we went by boat to the Taquille island.

Amore developed one (a bit) but equally dirty. We saw some humming birds (collibris) on the eucalyptus trees as well. We climbed again (yes, again short of breath) - all the way to the other end of the island - where we had to descend to the port along 530+ stone steps (and no, that was not easy). It had really nice terracing and views over the lake.

Humming bird:

view on the Amantani island from Taquile:

men from the Taquile island:

this little girl got baloons from people form our group

Taquile:

After the lake trip we took a taxi (40 min) outside of Puno and went to Sillustani - an Inca burrial place - with burrial towers. It was a very nice plac, especially that we were the only people THERE actually. And we caught another great sunset. The views were amazing again

nothing very exciting happened today so far. we took an earl bus from Arequipa 2 Puno at the lake Titicaca. the bus was very nice but after 5.5h in it we felt like getting OUT OF IT

traditionally-dressed woman:

anyways
now just booked a trippie 2 the titicaca lake islande for 2 days - leaving early tomorrow (dont expect any posts then, theres no ELECTRICITY on the slands, not to mention internet). we`ll b sleeping at people´s home on the Amantani island - and i dont even think there will b a bathroom there, so...

first we will go to the Uros islands made of reed - made and inhabited by the Uros indians. then we´ll go the Amantani island, see some Aymara-culture ruins, spend the night there (after going to some PARTY with all the villagers and will b dressed up in tradtional Amantani gear ), then next day we´ll go to the Taquille island

The Titicaca lake itself is the highest located navigable body of water on Earth

we r now at 3800m above sea level. so far so good, i feel great (myaybe thanks to the anti-altitude sickness drugs, Chris cant breathe every now and then, but otrher than that we`re fine)

our hotel in Puno:

ok, no we`ll go buy some stuff to give the to the family we will b staying at (like candles, some fruit etc)

(Mel, your pickie with me chewing on the guinea-pig leggie is coming, we just coulnt upload them, internet so slooow)

elo
we r still alive and kicking. ad feeling way better then yesterday actually. probably got used to the altitude more.
so today was the CONDOR day. We had to get up early again (Surprise surprise, i think this will never end) = 5.30 wake-up call. We went across the Colca valley all the way to the Colca Canyon. The valley was full of terracing different crops being grown on all of them. Looked really nice!

Then we entered the canyon. Its supposed to be 3300m deep = twice as deep as the Great Canyon. Which is a bit of cheating, as its actually 1200m (because the 3thousand they counted from a top of the mountain thats next to it)

then by 8.20 we were at the Cruz del Condor. Point where condors usualy fly about. They actually more glide on thermals than fly - they dont move their winds at all during the flight.
Cruz del Condor:

At the beginning we were happy notcing one REALLY realy far. haha we woudl probably have to add red arrows in ohotoshop on pics to show where the actual bird was. But later on more and more started coming. They were getting really close to us - I´d say to about 4m from us while in flight. you could even hear them swooshing about - their wings would made this funny noise. Condors have a wing span of 2.5m by the way . It was a real spectacle. And for desert we got a condor which sat on a rock next to us - either to rest or just to show off to us . And if that wasnt enought for us: another one came. Eventually there were 3 of them sitting there. 4m5m form us. Amazing birds

By the way: contuinuous mode on the camera comes handy . it ended with me taking about 400 pics in 1h... I NEED TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED so if anyone kows a good mental hospital pls let me know! (by the way, don´t b afraid, i intend to delete like 95% of the condor fotos only keepig the best shots

afterwards awe walked around the canyon a bit. was really nice
