Driving to Ollantaytambo

I knew that our driver was good when I saw he had driving gloves on. That's what a professional wears when he drives crazy mountain roads of over a hundred kilometers an hour! It's hard to describe this trip because there was so much going on.  It took us about 2 hours to drive including a short stop to buy a hat and take a picture of the big snow capped mountain. There was a mountain with glaciers on it. There was a giant lake that is drying up. There was a rain storm in the distance. There were at least five different bicycle riders going up very steep hills with very little shoulder area. Giant buses were flying by in both directions. Each little town had the obligatory giant speed bump. The speed bumps made it hard to pass. On the side of the road there might be a llama, a cow, a pig  a donkey, a dog , a sheep or a human.

The only bicyclist I could take a picture of had a flat
