Some scenes from the Cordillera Blanca (Peru)

Here we are... more than a month into our adventure. And here's my blog... nowhere close to a reflection of all the beautiful places, people, and experiences that we've lived. 

Easing into all the strangeness of living out on the road, I'm frequently reminded that we've made a choice to live outside our comfort zone. And while such leaps into the unknown are aimed at cultivating something rare and ineffable, adversity is inherent to any real journey. 

That's definitely how we felt about the hike we took near Huaraz, Peru, where most of these photos were taken. It may look like it was all fun and games, smiles for miles, and beautiful scenery (and, at times, it was), but this high country sojourn also came with some humbling, light-headed hardships.

​Enjoy.
