Yellowstone : It's surreal inside the world's largest volcano caldera - of geography; peaks, plains, badlands, rivers and lakes; of wildlife; bison, grizzlies, elk, eagles and wolves; of volcanic activity; geysers, springs, mudpots, terraces and fumaroles. Captured here are a few vignettes of an experience I recommend put on your "to do" list.

Road to Bisti : "Don't let the Earth in me subside..." - Avenue of Hope (I Am Kloot). Here are postcards from a 2000-mile road trip from Dallas, TX, to the Four Corners region (where Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico converge). In four days, over Thanksgiving, encountered extreme weather - thunderstorms, snow, freezing wind and eventually a little sunshine - while exploring Bisti Badlands (a 4000-acre region with extra-terrestrial landscape created by a juxtaposition of sandstone, clay and coal weathered by the elements), Mesa Verde (a region where the earliest American-Indians established their settlements) and miles of open road in between.

Peru : Two nights before the quake struck in Peru we were whiling away time at Mira Flores in Lima waiting for our flight back to New York; apparently a few people have lost their lives in that area of Lima. I do hope Lisa, Elena and David - part of the group who extended their stay in Peru - are safe and having a great time in the jungle and at the Nazca lines (update - they are OK). Peru is simply a fantastic experience, everything about it is unique and unforgettable - friendly and welcoming people, a juxtaposition of cultures, old and new architecture, the elevation and mountains, endless steps, trails and vistas, a variety of food and pisco, exquisite art and handicrafts, exotic alpacas and llamas. I hope the pictures will give you some sense : of the great set of folks I shared the adventure with; of Cuzco, capital of the Inca civilization; of hiking and camping the ancient, arduous Inca trail; of the mystical, magical Machu Picchu; of serene Lake Titicaca, highest navigable lake in the world; of Peru's people, food, flora, wildlife, art and architecture. Note - The pictures are arranged based on the date taken; so you will find pictures in the following order - in and around Cusco (Page 1), the Inca trail and Machu Picchu (Page 11) and Lake Titicaca (Page 20) If you are planning to do the hiking trip to Machu Picchu or visit Cuzco, Peru, here's an agency I would highly recommend you reach out to: www.lonely-peru.com (email: info@lonely-peru.com). Ask for Vladimir - he's easily the best guide and tour organizer there is in Peru and you will have an outstanding experience!
