Manin's pictures from PERU, Oct. 2006 ... Enjoy!

	We headed up Pachatusen Mountain on horseback. The beginning of the trek was easy going. After a few hours, we stopped for lunch.
	Beverly and Art stopped to enjoy the views of the Sacred Valley on the way up.
	Hours later, the landscape became more barren and the groundcover shorter. We would occasionally pass by herds of grazing sheep.
	Another view of the Sacred Valley, from a higher viewpoint.
	The rock faces jut out of the mountainside. It was wet and slippery. Our sturdy horses knew which paths were safest, so we gave them their lead.
	A long hard ride. Almost there...
	Our destination: the lake at the top of Pachatusen Mountain. Here we would camp overnight.
	The air was cool and it was hailing when we started to pitch camp. That evening, we were treated to a thunder, hail and lightening storm that swirled around us and shook the tents. In the morning, we awakened to a beautiful cool sunny day.
	Don Nasario, Don Marco and Dona Bernardina preparing ceremony. Our mesas (medicine bags) are on the rock.
