I’m baaaack…….

Well, we’re back….or at least have been back for a few days. I need to express mucho gratitude to Cathy, for doing such a great (as always) job while we were away.

So where did we go, what did we do, and more importantly, what did we eat? I’m in the process of sorting through 1200+ photos, and will hopefully be able to start posting on our trip to Peru starting on Sunday. There is one thing I’d like an opinion on, I’ve got a bunch of stories, and many meals….but I really don’t want to be a bore. So should I just start, and go in chronological order? Or should I just do an abridged version and just to a few highlites? You let me know.

Here are a few photos to help you make a decision.

Cusco is a wonderful city, with warm, friendly, and kind people. Once you get past the hawkers(who weren’t too agressive, and can be dismissed with a courteous "no gracias"), we found Cusco to be a beautiful city to visit.

I’ve got more than a few stories of kindnesses bestowed upon us in Cusco.

Peru2_265 As you can see, there is quite a bit of "stuff"…….and some really great eats, from the Chicha de Jora "speakeasy" in Calca, to Mercado Central in Cusco, an excellent Picanteria, some great Cebiche, and Astrid y Gaston to top it all off.

I’m not sure you’ll want to read it all, so you tell me.

I’ll be back on Sunday!
