The People of Peru



Our gracious host!  We spent the night at this family's home on an island.
This is their kitchen.
















We visited so many areas of Peru. 
The highlight of our journey was the grueling 4 day hike up to Machu Picchu!  We climbed over 2,800 stairs and I felt every one of them!

Summer Vacation




Peru, South America



I took a break from life this past summer. Actually, it was more like running away! For 28 days I traveled the country of Peru with my uncle and his wife. What an experience!


Too cute....a family of llamas
