Hourless Life: Documenting Our Global Overland Adventure

I remember watching them prior to my time in Peru. But had not gone back and rewatched it after I had been there, I am glad I did. For a mix of triggering my own memories, as well as being able to see some portions I was unable to do when there but now being able to place them. (* Like the cathedrals in Cusco). And even how my own perspective changed.

And I realized we ate in the same restaurant, (the view and food were great, after Machu Picchu). And of course, a lot of the same roads.

My Lake Titicaca, experience was different as well. It was cool, and worth seeing. But got the feeling we were just tourist dollars being herded to each booth.

I do not feel like that came through the videos, I just re watched. But maybe it was my own recollection,
Hopefully you will be able to "go back" with the memories and videos eventually and see it in another light.

One of our big surprises in Peru was Chavin de Huantar. So glad we did this "side trip" as we were blown away by the archeological site. We captured it in this video Not sure if you watched that one. But if you haven't been to the ruins there, I HIGHLY recommend them. They were outstanding!

I know many people love Peru and claim it as one of their favorites. I honestly don't feel I was able to give it a fair shake so to speak, and would enjoy returning someday. Thanks for the encouragement. ~ Eric
