Valle de La Luna



   Now that the effects of the altitude had worn off, we headed to Valle de la Luna.  It's supposed to remind you of the surface of the moon, but looks a lot more like the hoodoos in British Columbia.  It's a wonderful hike through winding paths and precarious walkways.  The views are amazing.
  We met a this guy named Lino who played the flute for us.  He seemed to like Richard, called him "Ricardito." :-)

Market

After 4 days of travelling by air and land, we are here.  Unfortunately, with having had little sleep the past few days, the altitude got me.  Richard seemed to fair alright, but I sure didn't.  Our friends live on a fourth floor walk up, which is a daunting task when you can't breathe.  I almost passed out after the first flight.  But, after a nap, felt a bit better.  These are some shots of the Layq'a market.
