Comet Pan-STARRS
Comet Pan-STARRS (center of photo).
On March 23rd there was finally a clear enough sky in Central Jersey to try and get a good view of Comet Pan-STARRS so I ventured out for some stargazing and photos. To read more and see more photos, click on the picture above or the link below:
Dubrovnik: A Tour of King’s Landing (and other locations)
When I visited the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia in November of 2011, I had no idea that one of my favorite television shows, Game of Thrones, had just recently finished filming its second season there. I thought it might be cool to share some of the photos from my trip that match up with locations from the television series. To read more and see the photos, click the link below:
Peru, the Inca Trail, and Machu Picchu
I recently completed the epic seven-part journal of my trip to Peru, highlighted by my four-day hike of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Rather than bombarding this blog with all seven parts, I thought I’d just provide links to the original posts on my own blog for those who may be interested.
My Trip to Peru, August 2012 — The first chapter discusses my preparations for hiking the Inca Trail (i.e., spending four days in the wilderness) as well as my flight down to Cusco.
Here and There — My stay in Cusco and my visits to the Maras Salt Mines and the Inca ruins at Moray.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas — My excursion into the Sacred Valley, highlighted by the majestic Inca ruins at Pisac and Ollantaytambo.
Hiking the Inca Trail: The Journey Begins — A pleasantly sunny stroll along the early part of the Inca Trail.
The Inca Trail Day 2: Detour Through Hell — My struggle to climb the nearly 14,000-foot peak known as Dead Woman’s Pass through torrential rain and sleet while battling altitude sickness.
The Inca Trail Day 3: Almost There — A tour through some gorgeous scenery and impressive Inca ruins.
The Inca Trail Day 4: Arrival at Machu Picchu — The final leg of the hike, featuring the ‘Gringo Killer’, Machu Picchu, and some soothing hot springs.
