This woman sat alongside of one of the ancient towers at the archeological site of Sillustani, near Lake Titicaca in Peru.

It was a rather gray day when this photo was taken, so her orange dress and hot pink hat really stood out, making her a great photo opportunity.

Sillustani wasn’t a destination we had necessary picked out ahead of time to visit on our trip to Peru. However, we feel it is worth visiting for anyone who might be staying a couple of days in Puno, Peru.

The Middle East will always be dear to my heart, and Petra is one of my favorite attractions in the region.

On an around-the-world trip with my husband several years ago, we enjoyed several days at Petra. On one of those days, we made the journey up to the monastery, where we ran into this lady who invited us to tea. It was so relaxing to sit and enjoy the people-watching experience that is the stairway to Petra’s famous monastery building. Locals and international tourists, goats, donkeys and more climb the canyon for a peek at the building and the phenomenal view from the cliff.

On a side note, I’m enamored with Bedouin culture and images in general. Any links to images you’ve posted elsewhere online from the Middle East would be greatly enjoyed by yours truly. Happy trails, Trek Hound readers!

High in the Andes Mountains, in the Sacred Valley of Peru, I ran into this woman somewhere between Cuzco and Machu Picchu.

Full of it, isn’t she? And I mean that in a good way. I had no way of communicating with her linguistically, but something tells me with the twinkle in her eye, she’s definitely someone I’d enjoy hanging out with. And how ‘bout that view? Living where you get to see a view like that every day is something few people get to experience.
