What a wonderful time in PERU......

Well followers,

My time has ended in Peru an I would like to share just a few more exciting moments. If you remember when I begun this journey it was for Community Service and I did that, however I will say it was far more than. Community Service, it was like a home away from home. The people of our town (Pallata) will always remain in my heart and mind.

The clouds hover Peru on a daily but what a great sight to see....

I told you all that the view was great!!!!

That's right y'all, I've made it to Huaynapicchu, What a hike!!!

Kristin, Kelly and I as we reach Huaynapicchu, Yaay!!!!

This is one of many great views while hiking to Huaynapicchu & Machu Picchu

My group with Maribell, Freddy (Got to give love to the cook), Miguel (The Man who knows how to keep things in order, "On Peruvian Time" lol) & Feliciano (Who showed us how to skin a sheep.)

Nos vemos PERU, You will be missed!!!

A big Thanks to Putney for giving me this amazing opportunity, much respect to both Kelly and Kristin for being such great travel companions, a shout-out to my fellow Putney group and an abundance of appreciation to the town and the People of Pallata.

What's a break without fresh air?

It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing

Pflanzen aus der Mojave und Colorado Wüsten

I never envisioned that I would stop and photograph so many flowers during a trip. I personally am more of a landscape person, however sometimes we also have to pay respect to the little things as well. Somethings are just posing for pictures Beavertail Cactus Chia Barrel Cactus A Joshua Tree beginning to bloom What's the point of snapping photos just to snap if you still don't ever understand where you where and why the land is the way it is. The Desert as dry, hot and unforgiving as it can be holds many jewels and in my opinion is a very tranquil and relaxing environment free from the hustle and bustle of city life and monetary drive. Flowers or communal weeds? Mojave Yucca Cholla Catus. The lighter the fingers; the more water A blooming Ocotillo.
