Amazing. <br /><br />So many things were destroyed both by the Spaniards and then later by later generations. There is so much pottery, many buildings and ruins all up and down the coast that because there is no rain have stayed intact. Peruvians told us that when they were kids they would find the pots and sit them on the walls or rocks and throw rocks at them. No one knew it was history and centuries old.<br /><br />It has not been that many years since they have been protecting artifacts and locations. <br /><br />We enjoyed our years in South America.Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-5376244036252053512014-06-26T10:47:20.524-05:002014-06-26T10:47:20.524-05:00Hi Joan, you made me smile with the TBT!

There is a bit more vegetation (trees and local plants) growing at Machu Picchu now - in order to show how things might have looked back in the day. There are also lots more rules and regulations to hopefully help preserve the place. Our guide told us that he had once spent the night (camped out) at Machu Picchu when he was young. It would have been cool to see the stars from the top of the mountain. I need to get busy and post my pics from Lima.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your photos. I will forward them to Toby and Jesse. It was interesting to see Gene with hair, too.

There are always things you take photos of that are just so much fun later to go back and look at. Your photos are great!!! This is like a big TBT...but it is Wednesday. lol<br /><br />I keep a packing list and never pack too far in advance, otherwise I change my mind and pull out too many things and put in too many things.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.com
