After the 8 days of work it was time to explore. Here are some photos of the beautiful surrounding regions in Peru!

First... a trip to the orphanage! Can you spot me amongst the 24 kids?!

More dolls, more smiles!

The new little addition to the orphanage

The view of Misty the mountain

Look sean... i found it, here is where you stand when there is an earthquake! See? all safe!

Translated that sign says "safety zone in case of earthquake". Found in most large buildings in Peru and in the hospital.

Is it me, or do I have a hard time finding toilets with seats when i travel?

A quick trip to the llama store and a chance to make friends with Juanita!

The cathedral in Cusco

A chance to learn how to weave

A little church en route... ok mike... do I have enough pictures of churches?

Ninho Jesu. Or baby Jesus. Easy to find everywhere in Peru!

The streets of Peru

The incredible landscapes

Typical prototype of Peruvian Streets. Very narrow.

Exploring Inka Ruins in Ollantaytambo!

Walking through the famous Inka door

Fun in the ruins

I found another statue of Christ the King!

The local market. Sean, do you recognize the bull?

Lisa, another way to carry your new baby!

Peruvian music

Outside the church on Sunday

Walking down the street and there's a parade!

Not to mention a llama walking by!

Ok... one more beautiful church

Bargaining at the market again. I can't stop!

Look! They are advertising for a doctor in town to come!

Off to the rainforest!!

Ok... is it me or isn't anyone else uncomfortable with this "little guy" on the roof of the hut!!

Shhh... can you see the frog?

Little bats sleeping!

Ok... this tree seems rather big to me!

All right i'm going in!

This is apparently a source of head trauma in the forest.... hence the sign!

See a snake... pick it up

Otherwise known as "the smelly birds"

I decided to help with the banana harvest!

Am i the only one who didn't know that pineapple grew like this?

And when night time comes... we go on cayman (alligator) tracking!

Touch an alligator! Check, another check on the list of things to do!
