Mugs

Today I have something different for you.  While we were in Peru, near Cuzco, we stopped by a local artist shop to watch him make clay pottery.  He completed a small demo for us and we got a chance to look around his gallery.  These mugs are about 50 percent complete.  They’ve been created, but need to dry, be sanded, glazed, and have the final design/graphic added to them. 

I realize this type of photo won’t appeal to most people, but I liked it.

Cuzco - Puno Border

Crossing from the Cuzco province (basically the same thing as a state) to the Puno province means passing this spot in the Andes Mountains.  This was the highest elevation we experienced in Peru at a little over 14,100 feet.  I can tell you that it was a little hard to breath.  Not terrible, but you could feel it. 

Anyway, we stopped at this spot for a few minutes to look at the roadside vendors and take in the view of this amazing mountain range.  My picture doesn’t do justice to this beautiful spot.  Sorry I can’t give you a picture to match the real world experience of standing there.  Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

Note:  Don't forget to look at the video below to see how beautiful this site was via a different media format.
