Thailand - Phuket and Koh Phi Phi

After leaving Chiang Mai we headed to the south of Thailand for a bit of a beach vacation. A completely different feel from the north, but still fantastic - white sand beaches, palm trees, the whole lot. 

Thailand - The North

We spent 12 days in Thailand - some of those days were in Chaing Mai, some in Phuket/Koh Phi Phi and some were in Bangkok. It was a great mix of what the country has to offer but by no means enough time anywhere. I'd love to get back there again soon, spend more time in Thailand but also around the rest of S.E. Asia!

Hong Kong

Back in May I went to Asia with a couple of good friends. On our way to Thailand we did a one day stopover in Hong Kong. Basically we had enough time to take some shots before getting back on the plane and heading to Bangkok. It was a great way to see a bit of the city and get a feel for the place. 

Peru - Market In Cuzco

Wandering the market in Cuzco was a pretty interesting experience. There is food, clothes, and housewares. Much more authentic than the handicraft markets we later saw in Lima, since most of the people at the markets were locals and not tourists.

Peru - Cuzco

Somewhere in the middle of October I got a phone call from my boss asking me if I had ever been to Peru (no!) and would I like to go? (YES!). Nov 26th we departed, flying with LAN airlines via JFK and Lima to Cuzco. We spent a couple days in Cuzco, wandering the streets and exploring the markets. We ate amazing food and got a taste of the Incan Culture.
