Home sweet home in Peru

So many pictures!  Here are a few of some of the best places we laid our heads at night...

Urubamba.  The Pear Trees Hostal.  Our Quechua-speaking host is a retired chemist, who is now gardening without the aid of chemicals.  Beautiful garden!  Great outdoor oven, where he cooked cuy, guinea pig, for us.

Our hostel in Aquas Calientes, right beside the train tracks.  Yep, it was noisy!  Ollantaytambo, where we caught the train to Aquas Calientes, the tiny town just before Machu Pichu...  the street of steps up to the Bright Hostel in Cusco...the view from our rooftop on the Island of Taquile in Lake Titicaca...the view from our rooftop in Arequipa, of  El Misti (the volcano) and sunset behind the biggest cathedral in the country...a very cold sunset in Colca Canyon...the oasis of Huacachina, from the top of a Very Big Sand Dune.  Our hostel is in the foreground of the buildings....our hostel in Paracas...
