| Cusco & the Inca Trail, Peru |
 |
| The enchanted city of Cusco is surrounded by a wall that was built by the Inca people. Today, it is filled with night clubs and non-stop partying. |
 |
| Pictured in the far right is my then girlfriend, Karina. Her friend Romy is on her left, and a friend of thiers is on the far left. Karina picked me up by helping me order a coffee "sin azucar"...what a doll. |
 |
| No no Julie, you don't just sniff the coca leaves, that's not how it works. Dennis, you look like a kid in a candy store. See all that toilet paper? Well, when you go to a Peruvian toilet, you'll realize that you should have brought some paper with you. Ass-gasket!!! |
 |
| One of the only times I left a girlfriend on good terms. Sorry babes, I've gotta go hike the Inca Trail! |
 |
| At the beginning of the Inca Trail, Dennis strokes the donkey. I think he was trying to woo it into giving him a ride. |
 |
| These ruins typify the terraced-style of Inca settlements. They used the terraces to plant crops. They felt that they should conform to the land, as can be seen by the way they built this settlement into the side of the mountain. |
 |
| This is the first five people to the top of the gruelling "dead women's pass". From left to right: Matt (England), Karst (Netherlands), Joris (Belgium), Steffi (Germany), and Matt (me...Canada). See that valley below...that is from whence we came. |
 |
| While it is impossible to experience the Inca Trail without actually being there, here is a pretty good shot of what it looks like. It is so high in the Andes, that you literally walk amongst the clouds. |
 |
| Machu Piccu as photographed by the lovely Steffi. Good shot, eh? |
 |
| Hangin' at the Piccu. From left to right: Dennis, Vanessa, Matt, and Steffi. |
 |
| Within the city of Machu Piccu, Steffi and I listen to Popi explain how the Inca's used the pictured rock as a calander. |
