Peru Pictures

The train ride back from Machu Pichuu gave us opportunity to buy beautiful Alpaca clothing

It rained the entire time we were amongst the ruins. Later that day in the afternoon the sun came out and it was beautiful. By that time, we had wet clothing and needed to go back to our hotel to warm up.

Peru!!!

We left Guayaquil Friday, after hooking up with Tom and Ann of Leonidas whom we hope to see again in Cuzco. .Presently we are in Peru, leaving Lima heading for Arequipa. The waterfront here is beautiful and there are other sailors here who we have seen before: Sailors Run, Yorrike and soon Aquamarine.
Cruz del Sur is the busline we are going to take (We are drinking complementary tea and coffee, and doing internet, in the VIP lounge while waiting for our bus) and we are excited that we have the full cama seats with pillows and blankets!
