\"GroupSaqsaywamanRuinsNearCuzcoSm\"<\/a>In December 2014, Bob led a Temple Alumni Trip to Machu Picchu (Peru) and the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). These are a few photos from the trip. The picture above is not Machu Picchu, but another place near Cuzco – Saqsaywaman Ruins. This link will take you to the GALAPAGOS<\/a> part of the trip!.<\/p>\n

Museo Larca<\/strong> in Lima, Peru (below). Pre-Incan art. Outdoors – beautiful flowers. Indoors cool sculpture, including rather lascivious poses (not posted).\"DSC_0096MuseoLarcaOutsideSm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps you noticed some of the Incan stone masonry in the background. How did they cut these stones to such exact fits? It’s known, but what\u00a0 skill amazing and perseverance.<\/p>\n

This is a series of three photos along a trail that was a “backdoor” into Machu Picchu with a bridge that could be withdrawn. We could walk to the gate but not beyond to the bridge. Note the bridge in the first photo.<\/span>\"MP_BeforeEndOfLineSm\"<\/a>\"MP_EndOfLineSm\"<\/a>\"MP_BeyondEndOfLineSm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another llama and a rodent called a visc<\/a>acha (not to scale).<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
