Even though I was tired from barely sleeping, at one point I did manage to marvel at all the millions of stars that dotted the night sky. Never in my life have I’ve seen so much intensity and brightness that one didn’t even need a light to see, as the starlight was more than enough. After fully waking up at about 6:45, 15mins …

Aguas Caliente
Returning from Machu Picchu we headed back to our hostel in Aguas Caliente. Seeing that we arrived in total darkness the night before it was nice to get a glimpse of the town in daylight. The last two pictures were taken in front of the hostel we were staying at The Supertramp. Before turning in for the night we spent a …
Last of Machu
Before leaving the park we explored the Temple of the Sun and other adjacent areas. The masonry around the Temple was more or less perfect with clean lines and tight joints. Its amazing to think how much effort went into making this place. Near the Temple one can see many different fountains that still work perfectly after all these years. After taking one last look …
Machu Ruins II
As we explored further up the mountain the classic view of Machu Picchu soon came apparent. As we neared the House of the Guardians we noticed a few Llamas grazing on the adjacent terraces.

The temperatures were starting to heat and we were …

Fort Union National Monument, Dilia – NM
Yesterday my family decided to head to Carlsbad, NM for a couple of days to visit the caverns. My plan was to leave at 4:30am and meet up with them in Carlsbad. While driving down there I saw a sign for Fort Union National Monument just north of Las Vegas, NM. Seeing that …
Random Roadtrip
I finally bought a nice car stereo receiver for my Jeep and to test it out I drove to Raton, NM. I realized after coming back from NM that i didn’t take any pictures. So I decided to visit the area of Ludlow, CO. I was surprised to see so many old buildings! And yes my new stereo makes driving so …
