That's it.

My memory was faulty. I would like to correct an earlier statement. The taller peak on the right is not Intihuatana, 'The Hitching Post of the Sun'. It is actually in the foreground on the left as shown in the following photo.

I grew up on my grandfather's stories of his travels around the world both before and after WWI. Even though he was an American, he served as a doctor in the British Army in the war. His hospital received a personal commendation from King George V. I have the original. He rode the Trans Siberian Railway through the middle of the Russian Civil War. He met my grandmother in China even though he was from Boston and she was from Chicago. I could write a book but he already did.
