Wednesday – 8/26 Our last day in Peru – sigh. We really had the day to ourselves until our 5pm airport pickup. We had to check out of the hotel by 9:30 so we planned breakfast and our final packing accordingly. Then we were looking for a spot to have devotions and Sandy found this…

Tuesday, 8/25 Well, after yesterday, anything would feel a bit anti-climatic. However, it really was a lovely relaxing day. We were catching the train about 10:30 and heading back to Cusco. But with all that time, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and even had time for devotions together and a prayer time for people close…

Monday, 8/24 What do I say about today? We went to Machu Picchu. I could almost stop there because it is one of the most photographed places in the world and my photos won’t really add anything, except, of course, for the ones I’m in! And description is woefully inadequate. But – I’ll give it…

Sunday – 8/23 Morning in Cusco – beautiful and sunny. This is such a charming town. We will have more time on the far side of Machu Picchu to visit here. After our good breakfast, we left most of our luggage with the hotel and took our smaller bags for our 2 night outing. It…

Saturday, 8/22 Our little group of four had the luxury of breakfast at the hotel and a little more leisurely pack up time than those who left for the U.S. 7:15 rather than 4:30! We arrived at the airport in about 20 minutes and waited until check in opened at 8. We then proceeded rather…

Friday – 8/22 Last night was a short night as we had to hit the road at 6:30 am which meant getting up about 5 for most of us. We were flying back to La Paz. All went very smoothly for our 35 minute flight. Checked in, bags through, security survived, and then our much…

Thursday 8/20 Normal morning routine and on the road by 7:30. We all got a chuckle of how much of the previous day’s confetti was still with us. It showed up everywhere! In pockets, hoods and kept even seeing it on the floors of the elevators and restaurant. Today we were headed to another village…

Wednesday – 8/19 After our amazing sponsorship day, I, at least, thought today might be anti-climactic. I had even had trouble falling asleep last night because I was still on an adrenaline high. But I was wrong! We head out each morning at 7:30, showered, dressed, and fed. Back out to Colomi. A few words…

Tuesday, 8/18 What do I say about today?! There aren’t enough exclamation marks, even for me! Today was Sponsorship Day and six of us met our children. I have done this before but quite I. This fashion. After a good night’s sleep, unmarred by dreams of small enclosed places for Alice and LuAnn, we had…

Monday, 8/17 Our first World Vision day! Whoopee! Up for a lovely breakfast buffet at our hotel. The food here is very good. I especially loved the lake trout we got at Titicaca. Then our faithful Ivar showed up, loaded up our myriad pieces of luggage and took the short ride over to WV headquarters….

Sunday – 8/16 After sleeping the sleep of the just and the mostly dead, we enjoyed a more leisurely start to our day on the edge of the lake. The dining room overlooks the lake so views are spectacular. We met for breakfast and devotions at 8 and then boarded our faithful hydrofoil for a…
