We ended up staying another night in Puno, and we found a place that transfers memory cards onto CD so... here are some pictures!!This is a church in Pisco. Remember, Pisco was in ruins because of the 7.9 earthquake a couple years ago - a beautiful old colonial building next to this church completely came down in the earthquake.
This is the harbour at Paracas, just outside of Pisco. This is the day after the sandstorm - beautiful skies for our Islas Ballestas tour.
The Islas Ballestas. A chain of islands, covered in birds.
Penguins!
A ladder for Peruvians to climb up and collect the guano (bird poop).
We saw many seals!
This was a long beach, FULL of seals. The birds flying through the air were common - hundreds were constantly streaming to these islands from over the ocean.
