Peru (Caylloma, Espinar, Santo Tomas)

The Caylloma volleyball gang
take 2
Enroute to Espinar

Take a break in the sleepy town of Suykutambo


and onward

Inca style
Welcome to Espinar
a livelier then expected city
in a grassy plain surrounded by mountains
kite in the plaza
something imporant
typical Inca doorway
and a festival of alpaca

enroute to Santo Tomas
Welcome to Santo Tomas

perhaps the prettiest town so far

church service
where i drank chicha with these internet guitar bandits
and I was lucky enough to witness their festival of education

the crowds


raising of the flag

and something a little gayer
the women
and their children
the cowboys


Some trucha and dirty potatoes in Puente Blanco
Where the entire town chips in on this new school
A day around some ruins
the corps

the dangerous watermelon brigade

and the even more fierce stumpy potatoe farmer

and not to forget the shoe shiners
a lively market
