SIDEWALK FINDINGS: CUSCO, AREQUIPA, LAKE TITICACA AND COLCA CANYON, PERU
I'm baa-aack. And with lots and lots to share.
It's impossible to sum up my journey to Peru in one concise blog post, but I'll try my darndest. I think this calls for list format:
1. Arequipa, dubbed the "White City", is chock-full of buildings made of volcanic ash. What's volcanic ash architecture good for? It's ability to withstand earthquakes, for one. Two, for it's ability to be carved into. Arequipeños create wonderfully chiseled type and ornaments on building facades, much to my delight.
2. Cusco, with its narrow and hilly winding streets is a wonder at night. A photographer's heaven.
3. Colca Canyon...immense and picturesque! The incredible hues of blue and green left me salivating.
4. The people? Probably some of the most warm, selfless, humble, yet PROUD that I've come across in all of my travels.
5. Color, color everywhere.
6. Pisco, pisco everywhere.
7. Little old me. In awe.
