Thanks for the comments everyone. Accha is a beautiful town, and the best part was seeing how happy “mama Vicky” was that we were there.

Ward — Accha looks lovely; glad you and Patricia got to relax and be with family.

Those bus rides up steep Andean slopes, with other cars coming at you head on, can be a nightmare. Two years ago, going to Qoyllur Riti, the drive was so treacherous that I tied a bandana over my eyes and sat in the van like that for the entire trip.

I figured it wouldn’t do any good having a heart attack out of fear.

Nothing like family and even better if one is coming back to a hometown, remembering good times and breathing the fresh air of the Andes. I need to do the same soon!
