I’ve uploaded the last batch of Ecuador photos, complete with captions.  Enjoy!

In 72 hours we will be home, something that is difficult to fathom as I sit eating a thin-crust pizza with a fork in Quito, Ecuador, this evening. In preparation for our journey home, I have created a new page, which you will notice as a tab on the front page called “Credits.” I wanted to express my appreciation to the many, MANY people who have helped support us in different ways on this journey. On Sunday night I plan on publishing a final blog post reflecting on the past eight months: what I’m looking forward to, what I’m going to miss, and what I’ve learned in the process. So stay tuned!

Our first batch of photos from Ecuador are now posted. For once I had time to add caption, so enjoy!

We’ve added some more photos to our Cusco & The Sacred Valley album, and also started a Lake Titicaca album, which we’ll continue to add to over the next few days.  We are off to watch the Oscars from our hotel room with a bottle of Chilean wine and a bag of popcorn that we bought from a vendor outside Puno’s movie theatre.  Enjoy!

Tomorrow we are off to Puno, Peru, to explore the shores and islands of Lake Titacaca, South America´s largest lake and the world´s highest navigable lake.  Most of the islanders live a very traditional life, which will mean that we will probably have poor access to the Internet.  We will be back in Cusco on the evening of the 25th, so if we aren´t able to post something in the interim, expect a post shortly thereafter.  Thanks, as always, for reading.
