This is me on the zip-line over the canopy of the jungle of the Andes Mountains in Ecquador.

 The biggest draw of the hotel we stayed in at Quito was the pet rabbit named Brownie that sort of had the run of the place. We stopped at a local grocery to get some breakfast items for our early departure to the Galopogas Islands.  Quite an interesting trip seeing everything there.
The Galapagos Legend is what we called home for four days as we cruised the islands. A Galapagos Penguin as seen from our dingy as we were going to shore. A volcanic rock projection on one of the islands.
Bartolome Island's two bays serves as a backdrop for a picture of my wife and myself. One of the many pelicans flying around spying the water for a meal. The Sally Lightfoot Crab with its beautiful coloring were numerous on the shoreline rocks.
A Galapagos Hawk looking for his next meal. This Flightless Cormorant came ashore and quickly made a friend of my wife. My wife and sister-in-law posing for a picture on board the Legend.
The Marine Iguanas seen here warming themselves in the sunlight. Everyone taking a short nap as we cruise to another island. A playful sea lion taking a break.
Marine Iguanas on the prowl. Cactus formations in the volcanic rock. A very scenic view from the beach of one of the rock formations.
American Oyster Catcher Blue Footed Boobies on a small rock just offshore. Blue Footed Boobies.
A Flamingo catching his breakfast in a small inland pond. A blue footed boobie nesting. A sea lion on a rock as seen from our dingy.
A squawking baby pelican.  Its mother is below trying to scare us away. A close up of the cactus formations. Galapagos Giant Tortoise
One of the many colorful fish we saw while snorkeling. This is me returning on to the Legend on a dingy sitting next to Hurley from Lost. : ) A Sea Turtle under water.
I actually ran head on into one of these massive turtles. A marine iguana returning to  land after feeding in the water. A sea turtle.
A curious sea lion checking us out. The sea lions swam right up to us. White Tipped Reef Shark
Cusco One of the busier places is Cusco's sqare. One of the narrow streets in Cusco.
I was sure not to bring my llama into the market area. On our way to see some ruins close to the city we saw this gentleman with his donkey. One of the many dogs that we saw running the streets of Cusco.
The ruins near Cusco. The ruins near Cusco. The city of Cusco as seen from the ruins.
Some of the native Cusco people dressing up and posing for pictures at the ruins. From our train to Machu Picchu we witnessed the rural poverty as people lived in sod houses. The Andes Mountains.
One of the glaciers in the Andes. My wife hiking on the Inca Trail. Not Machu Picchu, but a another community found along the trail.
My wife and I posing in one of the rooms at the ruins along the Inca Trail. A unique view of one of the ferns along the trail. At times we had to go on all fours to simply navigate the Inca Trail.
My wife and sister-in-law posing at a point where just behind them we get our first view of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu A post along the trail near Machu Picchu.
Just arriving after the hike at Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. A llama at Machu Picchu.

We paid for this picture with two children and their llama. Enjoying my Coca Cola and chips in Lima, Peru. Boy am I tired after exploring this place.
We are posing for a picture where we are actually blocking our view of Machu Picchu. A chance for all of us to pose at one of the ruin sites along the Inca Trail. My wife and I stop for a breather on the trail.
