love notes

There's something compelling and interesting about graffitti - the ephemeral nature of it, what it expresses, the artistic vs. naughty nature of it. We've taken some great graffitti photos here in Peru and throughout our many recent trips.
Recently, Valerie has started collecting love graffitti. Here are some early examples.

Foggy Day Trip

November 1 is a holiday here.
We celebrated with friends by going north to a natural park, Lomos de Lachay, for a hike.
We had thought to get out of the fog and into some sunshine. That wasn't the case. And it took forever to get there and back, as traffic was even worse then usual.
Still, the company was great, views striking, and expedition well worth the effort.
