Colca Canyon
We just returned from a 3 day trek into the Colca Canyon. We hiked from an altitude of 3200m to 2100m and then returned by mule.
Fountains
Day 2. Visit to the Museo Larco and the highlight of the day Parque De Reserva or Parque a l’agua. The park featured over a dozen water-fountains that were lit up beautifully with coloured lights. The water pulsed with the music played over the PA system and families crowed around to watch the show. Some of the fountains included an interactive element where people would run in and out of the fountains in between the pulsing water jets.
From the air..
We’re in Peru. Here’s a shot from the air during our flight to Miami on Sat April 16. Apparently the area we flew over saw over 80 tornadoes just after we passed by. Also, we learned an air traffic controller was fired today after being caught sleeping on the job at Miami International airport just after we landed.
Christie’s Mill Sunset
A picture from the balcony of our suite at the Inn at Christie’s Mill. We revisited them for our 6 month wedding anniversary because of their superb response to our complaints. We listed some concerns on our comment form at the end of our mini-moon and they responded by sending us a gift certificate for a free night including dinner and breakfast! More companies need to take customer complaints seriously like this. Way to go!
Ice
We stopped in at Killbear Provincial Park for their maple syrup festival a few weeks ago during our drive home from Sudbury. This is what the lake looked like.
Post-it Clock
I broke our clock. But the movement still worked. So with the help of a few post-it notes it’s back up on our wall.
Perigee-syzygy…
…or super moon happens when a full moon coincides with a close approach of the moon to earth as occurred on March 19th 2010.
