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.

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...

Back From Morocco

I guess I forgot to tell you where we went for our three week vacation…. Morocco! Great trip! Met some new friends and basically toured the Moroccan countryside by bus, horse and buggy, 4x4’s and camel. We stayed at eleven different hotels and spent two nights in the Sahara desert (the Milky Way was awesome). Anyway, here is a link to the pictures that we took. Yes, Michelle and I have separate smug mug accounts for picture posting: Erich’s SmugMug site: https://erichphoto.smugmug.com/International-Travel/Morocco/   Michelle’s SmugMug site: https://michellephoto.smugmug.com/Morocco/ you can see a video slide show as well (the pictures are the same) on my youtube site: https://youtu.be/_fXuiJeJ1cU enjoy

Drywall Has Started!!

We got an email from Courtney (our beloved sales lady @ Richmond/American Homes) stating that the drywall material was dropped off at the new house yesterday and they will start drywalling immediately. We went by the house today to take a look. We opened the front door and immediately saw four of the laborers sitting against the wall enjoying lunch (and a bit of music). I am not sure who was more surprised to see who! I should have snapped a picture of them sitting there with jaws agape. Definitely a Kodak moment. The upstairs is almost completely drywalled since the blew in the attic insulation earlier in the week and the ground floor is about half way done. I guess that they will start the basement soon. Did I mention that we opted for the finished basement? I probably did but I like repeating it since it will be cool to have a finished basement. Michelle stated that it will be a cool place to build a fort. Oh wait, I think she said that about the master bedroom walk in clo...
