City tour, kind of . . .

Well, today is supposed to be a ‘city and market tour’ but that’s not going to happen, at least as planned.   A couple of the historic neighborhoods and markets on the plan to be visited are in the area where demonstrations are ongoing and need to be avoided.  Claudio (driver) skirts some areas near where…

Peru is an incredible country.  We have spent the…

Hey – it’s us!

As the two of us have travelled over the years we’ve tried to keep a blog going (mainly so we can remember what the heck we did!).  It’s been good fun and a great way to hold on to special memories.
