I think on reflection that now I'm back in the UK with the majority of my friends here, that I'm going to put the blog on ice until I go somewhere interesting next year. Thank you to all those who have made kind comments about enjoying reading it and I'll let you know if I go live with it again! But to sign off, here are some of my favourite photos to finish with:

Macaws feeding on Colpa 1 (eating clay with minerals in it) in June:

"Drunken hacienda owners" in Pisac for the Festival of the Virgen del Carmen in July

And in the next post there's a load of archaeology for those who like that sort of thing!
