Artifacts from the Mamacuna Ruins

We went to see these ruins on our last day before catching our flight. I'm telling you, we never stopped. We checked out of our hotel and then shopped that last day, visited these ruins, and then caught our flight home and flew all night long. Then, of course, Harold wants to go bowling on that Sunday. So we get through customs, head across alligator alley and arrive in Lehigh about noon. Then we bowled. Then I came home and slept. And slept some more.

Fabian -- such a great help!

Thanks for all your help Fabian. Especially at the market the day we were leaving (my guide to a present for my husband, Harold. A nice alpaca tie -- about the color of the shirt Fabian is wearing in the picture. Ha ha ha ...

Meet Jesse and Buster

Here is Jesse, my step-son, with his new best friend, Buster.

And Dr. Rosa's nurse/companion

As a nurse usually is, she was busy, and doing as much as she could to keep things going as smooth as possible.

Dr Rosa again

And here is Dr. Rosa again

She has dedicated herself to her people in Peru. She works endless hours. I know. I watched her. She is one amazing person.

Much love to her and God bless,
Alicia

For Dr. Rosa

I'm going to try and put up all her pictures so she can have them. Dr. Rosa, all you have to do is right click on the pictures you want and then save to your computer.

Terry Fator, the ventriloquist that won America's Got Talent. He is amazing!

Pisco sours and piano players

The pisco sours are just that. Sour. Woo! And if you look closely into it you can see the bitters tossed on top of the egg whites.

And the lady playing the piano was right by our table. She played dutifully along, but when I went and stuck that $10 ( worth about $3 American) into her tip jar she was all smiles. And either way, she played a great piano.

Our last dinner at one of Peru's finest restaurants

I can't even begin to tell you what these foods are. OK. I'll try, but I'm not going to be good at it. Goat, Alpaca, heart, tamales, and much, much more. I went over and tried everything -- one bite at a time. And the last are the desserts. Yummy. The dinner is prepared for four or more people.

One thing about it, there sure was a lot of foods in Peru I'd never thought of, and of course I tried them all. With one exception. The guinea pig. Cuy (pronounced cooey) as they call it in Peru.
