Machu Picchu Trip

You may be wondering why I am waiting until now to post some stuff about our recent trip to Machu Picchu (Ecuador, Peru and the Galapagos)…

Well, I have posted a lot of pictures on my SmugMug website as well as putting an Adobe Spark page together (which kind of sucks) and a movie trailer together.

I will post the links later in this post.

Okay….The trip was awesome! One of the better OAT Trips that we have taken.

Peru was cool, Ecuador was great and the Galapagos were awesome.

Machu Picchu

We sampled a lot of food including guinea pig (Cuy). That was the first and last time that I will eat that rodent.

After we took a bite or two, our trip leader, Fredy told us it was finger food. Little too late buddy. The skin was tough and full of bones. I sat there very politely and crunched away. I think that everybody was doing the same. Needless to say, there were plenty of leftovers for the bus driver and the rest of the neighborhood.

For some reason, they prefer the black ones. I really don’t need to know why. I really don’t care. I really don’t want to think about it anymore.

Speaking of guinea pig, I am going to stop now as I need to make dinner.

Until the next post, go to our new website: http://eandmphoto.com - this site has links to pretty much everything we do on line (including our blogs) so you might as well bookmark it now.

California, Arizona & Back Again

 Well, Israel is a bust this year too... Time to visit the family via a road trip. We figure it will take two days of driving to reach California.  Of course we will make planned stops along the way. First stop, Antelope Valley State Park in Utah.  Only a hour drive from Salt Lake City. From Top to Bottom: Buffalo Wide Angle Shot of the Lake Infrared Photo of the Plains Infrared Photo of the Lake We spent a lot of time there shooting the buffalos (with cameras) but we were loosing light fast.  Major flying insect invasion.  Sounded like rain when driving. Next stop, Bonneville Salt Flats, UT Not much to say here other than it is fun as fuck to drive at 110 mph here. Back in the car and headed out to the Bay Area.  We decided to stay in Suisun City for the first two nights so we could visit with mom before heading out to the Wine Country. The Hampton Inn in Suisun City (infrared photo) After we visited with mom, we headed out to our next adventure, Safari We...

Jordan Day 1

 It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel.  THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time.   The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan.  We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference).   We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage.  No such luck!  We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver.  If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase.  We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks).   The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going.   Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable.  The hotel had a ro...

Thank You For The Smoke (California)! Wyoming Sucked

Another attempt at Astrophotography gone up in smoke.   Thank you California for the ruining our Wyoming weekend.  Don't worry, we will be visiting soon and will definitely leave a mark on your ass. The smoke was so bad in Wyoming.  Thick, grey and disgusting. Of course, this didn't stop people from going to one of our favorite spots in Wyoming.  Medicine Bow National Forest.   We dressed for 60 degree weather.  We didn't expect 35 degree weather with fog and blustery wind.  Glad we packed additional clothes (hats, gloves, scarfs etc). I am ahead of myself.  The day excursion to Medicine Bow was the second day.   We spent the first day at the Wyoming Territorial Prison to visit relatives.  Ha...the prison is now a park.  The prison's most famous prisoner was Butch Cassidy.  The only prison that Butch was incarcerated in.  Pretty good for career criminal. We spent most of the day at the prison.  Historical Prisons will...
