My longtime love affair for South America only grew stronger with my trip to Peru during the summer of 2001.  For a few weeks that August a couple of friends and I traveled throughout the Andean countryside, explored the ruins of Machu Picchu, survived the near-death experience of driving with a blinded taxi driver and sailed the historic waters of Lake Titicaca in a traditional reed boat.    The colours of its landscape, the shy faces of the Peruvians and the hustle and bustle of activity in the markets were a joy to photograph and a thrill to experience.  One of these days I'll have to return.  Note:  These images were scanned from slides.
