While the video was loading I was thinking "Hmmm, Van Halen? Hot for Teacher?"
At 7:30 PM, Tiny E said...: Awesome awesomeness! And I forgot how much I love me some VH.

I must know though - how did you end up doing with the altitude? It's a big fear of mine so places like Peru never make it onto my wish list.

Looks like an amazing trip.

Tiny E, I was fine with the altitude. Neither of us had any problems. There were a few times I was short of breath, but nothing major, and honestly, nothing I would have even noticed if I wasn't looking out for it. And on the last day, I did get a pretty decent headache, as that was the day that we saw a number of Indian villages and spent the day driving up and down the mountains. The last place we saw was 12K feet (higher than Cusco, which is 11K) and I had a headache from then until we sat down at dinner and I had some wine. And, Poof! Just like that, headache gone.
