PERU Here are the latest pics from our trip to Peru, where we hiked the Inca Trail, toured ancient ruins, and did battle with intestinal parasites (we’ll spare you the details on THAT). MORE PHOTOS SOON!

 Arrived in one piece at Cuzco airport. Not sure if airport is the correct term for a landing strip with a toilet! |
 Old Spanish church near Arequipa. Guess they didn’t have earthquake insurance in those days. |
 Long hike but well worth it. |
 This must have been one cool place to have a party. With this elevation you could get completely wasted on one bottle of beer. |
 Ellie got a little altitude sickness on the way up, hardly surprising at 11,000ft. Our guide gave us a coco leaf to chew on. Is this considered drug trafficking? |
 Me halfway up the mountain. Still lookin good! |
 Who said the Incas didn’t have escalators. |
 One good looking man |
This place is called Sacsayhuaman, pronounced sexywoman. Go figure!! |
 |
 Beach near nazca (you've heard of the Nazca lines right?) |
|
 The Amazon Jungle. |
 Ellie in the Amazon. |
 Video of a bizarre statue we found. Can't believe this wasn't in any of the guide books! |
 Some other Americans we met on the way. |
 More jungle. |
 Even more jungle. |
 A tree. |
 No really, more jungle. |
|
Looks very inviting . Do they have Piranhas in Peru? |
 Ellie's prize-winning photo of a tree root. |
 The Amazon. Home to many dangerous things. Including Ellie with a hangover. |
