Lomo Saltado

Claes: Lomo Saltado - a first taste of Peru, at dinner after our first day in Lima. Low hanging clouds, or was it possibly a marine layer, prevented extensive video recordings, but Jon did an excellent stand-up and we got some great images and audio of para-gliders nevertheless.

Leaving early tomorrow morning for the Andes, an "my" village in
Cordillera Blanca - Copa Grande. The village is home to maybe five
hundred people who live at the foot of a beautiful, but rapidly
retreating glacier.

Copa sits at about 3,500 meters above sea level, and although
there are certainly places at higher altitude, I remember how just
walking down to the market in the center of Copa was... well, let's
just say - not effortless.
