Peru, The Movie

I may never get around to writing up those last couple of magical days in Peru. You may or may not ever hear about my enchanted days in Machu Picchu and about my climb to the top of Huyana Picchu and my subsequent day of extreme altitude sickness suffered while I rode the train from Cusco to Puno for 10 hours. Luckily I managed to drink a lot of water and Electrolyte (Peruvian Gatorade) and inhale O2 from a tank for a while so I was fine the next day. You may never hear about our fabulous trip on Lake Titicaca complete with elementary school style field trip where they explain the history of the floating islands and how they are built and maintained.

You can watch it, though, condensed into a 6 minute long super amatuer video. You can either watch it in teeny, using the embedded player below or you can click on the picture to get a full screen version. Enjoy!

LOVE the video! I really enjoyed watching and listening to it. How long did it take for you to create that? I ask b/c it took me awhile to create something similar for our wedding reception ...

at least in the old days, when people trapped you in their den with a slide show, you at least got a stiff drink.:D
