peru recapped

It's been 3 years already but it feels like just a year ago. Peru is one of my favorite countries to travel to so far so I don't know why I never blogged this trip. I made one post back then, but the pictures weren't ready. Here is the link to the post I made when I got to Cusco. Debby In Peru

It may have been the Vietnam trip right after Peru or the frantic move from ucla to law school when i got back. Anywhoo, here are some of my favorite images of that trip.

oh, and ahem...all the outfits in these pictures were khaki pants, long sleeve shirts, and tank tops from H&M. I love their outdoorsy stuff because I use them for the trip, and then trash em before I go home.

However, there is one pair of pants that EVERY woman travelling should have. Those would be my Bebe pants. I wore them throughout the hikes and walks through Cusco and Machu Picchu, to dinners every night from Huacachina on, and they NEVER lost their shape. They are slimming, comfortable, and are just the BEST pair of black pants you can invest on. I don't have any pics of them since I wore them in my worst hour or when we went out to eat at night.

Note: I'm leaving this post on this date although I should back date it to May 2007. It just brings back tons of great memories.

Rios Amazones from the air. We flew into Iquitos, the only way to get into the Amazon.
