by Antonia M During our trip to lake titicaca, where people live on man-made floating islands, we took a "cruise" on an old-fashioned reed boat.

by Antonia M Great fishermen, great divers, and apparently, great sailors too!

Lake Titicaca at Sunrise

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:33:41 +0000

by Antonia M What a magnificent view. I was up early to catch the sun saying good morning to Lake Titicaca. A few people, including a man and his donkey, were up early--perhaps on their way to work. They stepped in the boats at the edge of lake and sailed into the morning mist.

by Antonia M We lucked out. The hotel we visited was right on the water. It's usually hard to book, even in advance. The Spirit must have had something in store for us. We we able to stay at a lot of place that we "shouldn't" have been able to get. We arrived just in time to watch the sun go down on Lake Titicaca.

Shamans-in-training

by Antonia M Brothers, Roberto (l) and Rene (r) are also apprentices of our shaman don Victor. Rene traveled with us and also served as translator. Here they stand in don Victor's Magical Art Jewelry shop, which is full of some of the most incredible piece you'll ever see. The shop is also part of a program that turns disenfranchised youth into artisans and contributing members of society.

Master in the Sky at Racchi

by Antonia M When elements of nature take the form of a human or other creature, it is said that there is a Master present there. At the temple site of Racchi, where we did an incredible ritual called the Cosmic Weave, I saw this Master in headdress present in the sky.

After the Quake in Pisco

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:33:39 +0000

by Antonia M We drove through Pisco, one of the most heavily damaged areas in Peru following the 2007 earthquake. Entire neighborhoods are lined with these tents where houses used to be. Only the mailbox remained at one of these sites we saw. Fellow traveler, Teresa, donated her sleeping bag to one Peruvian who was without even a tent to sleep in.

Still Open

by Antonia M There wasn't much left of this church after the earthquake. It was deeply moving to see people still arriving to attend service.

Mother & Child Master in the Rocks of Paracas

by Antonia M We went to Paracas, rich in biodiversity, to connect with Mother Ocean. In the distance the form of a mother holding a child (and the "father" in the background) are present in the rock.
