After Pablo’s studio/ Urubamba Peru we started to climb and were back on pavement at least for a bit. It had been a beautiful sunny, almost too toasty for me. Ride day thus far. A little way out of town, it opened up. And started to dump, we knew this was a possibility and we had been heading...

The studio of Pablo Seminario was cool. Many different mediums. Skill and talent I have not, nor will ever possess. And made a good spot to break for lunch in the cool grass outside. We ended up here for an extra hour + as our guide ran to get parts for his GPS. The large black lab in the...

The next day we switched from our VRBO to Casa Elena, right down by the square. And prepped for kick stands up on day 2. Since the moto shop was closed, we had dropped off our chargers, tank bags the night prior for the moto shop to install. As well as signing the paperwork and copies of out...

We were in Cusco on Halloween, in the post with the ‘Plaza de Armas” above you can see that they were starting to close of the roads, and Plaza. That morning the guide requested we meet him at “Jacks, an American restaurant as in his words “ twas the best restaurant in all of Peru” for...

Great question! This picture was in Agua Caliente, which is the town at the base of Machu Picchu. Behind there is a river, this being spring they are expecting some flooding. And that is the flood control plan, Edit* Sand Bags, and I am sure some trash mixed in there. Thanks! More to come, have...

Its no secret I generally like critters over people, the group would tease me about making friends with all the dogs. All in good fun. teasing me, with a street dog selfie. This large lab? Was in the Studio or Pablo Nava. We will cover that in a few more posts.

The next few posts are just on the street dogs, these were all through Peru, all happy, none had a care in the world. And the vast majority in good health, Snuck past the security at the train, and was sleeping under a bench during a rain storm. This little dude came into one of the...

We, were supposed to have an extra day to ourselves, however due to some “planning, from the guide” he did not know the Moto shop would be closed the day we were supposed to check the bikes out. Soooo we lost one of our extra fun days. As the guide required our presence, and we HAD* to shop in...

The next few days were spent enjoying Cusco. This is the Plaza De Armas, I love all the plaza’s and town squares that are common place in Latin America, always a lot happening. Vendors, street dogs, family’s having pic nicks. This one is touristy, so has all that you would expect. Including...

It was an early morning alarm, as we had a flight from Lima to Cusco. We each had a 50-60L backpack, and then a large duffle with the moto gear for each person, so it’s a large amount of luggage to move around, so UBER XL it was. And it made it a fun exercise getting into elevators together...

: Also, we were all sad when told that Peru no longer stamps passports, its all-digital now. There were a lot of signs, warning people not to get the special stamps that some vendors are selling, as it may void the passport.

We landed in Lima, (6am, Oct 29th) and knew we were going to fly out to Cusco the next morning. ( 7am) But wanted some cushion, in case of luggage issues. Or entry, and just to get a reset. My Verizon plan has international, so I had service as soon as I landed. I would like to switch to Google...

Gotta watch it, at that point all the water on the world won’t help without some other stuff with it. In fact just chugging water once your urine is brown like that can make things worse. Like salt, At least the dehydrated stuff is high on sodium usually. Some Gatorade powder, ELMNT, Liquid IV...

A few teaser shots, i am happy to be in Cusco. Its more my speed than Lima was. A way more relaxed atmosphere. I was only in Lima for maybe 24 hours. Got there Tuesday morning, and flew out wed morning. The garden, is the center square/entrance to our vrbo. You just have to love how they do...
