Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
Trujillo, Peru – At least for now, this is my roundup post on Trujillo and its food, and meeting Henry’s family. I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves for the most part… these are some of the highlights of the visit. We spent an hour at a horse show one afternoon at a… Read More One Last Look at Comida Trujillana
Trujillo, Peru – Having left behind Cuzco and the home of the Incas, we found ourselves an hour or so later in Lima with several hours to wait until the one daily flight to Trujillo, Henry’s hometown. We checked our luggage into a locker and grabbed a cab to the beach, where we sat at… Read More City of Eternal Spring
Cuzco, Peru – Our last full day in Cuzco dawned bright and early… well, I guess dawn probably came at roughly the normal time, but we were up early, and eagerly awaiting Yony’s arrival. After a little coffee and toast, the three of us trooped out to the street where she hailed the first cab… Read More Capital City Roundup
Cuzco, Peru – We got back into town late from Machu Picchu, after all, it’s a nearly five hour trip back. We did cut it a little short, it turns out that one can avoid the hour of zig-zagging up (or down) the hill by taking a bus from the town at the top, Potoy,… Read More Post Machu Picchu…

Cuzco, Peru – One may as well start close to the center and work one’s way out… so we booked our first tour for the former capital of the Incan Empire with a “city tour”. It’s a bit of a misnomer, as only one site that we visited was actually in the city, and our… Read More Capital City
Cuzco, Peru – Puno has been intriguing, interesting, and inspiring. It’s also been hard to breathe and cold. We’re ready to leave, and getting up with the sun isn’t a problem on our day of departure. I’m not sure we really slept much at all, especially given that that packed van is coming back for… Read More Headed to the Sacred Mountains…
Puno, Peru – Some thoughts looking back at our last day in Puno – for a small, rural city, it’s very clean. There’s definitely a bit of dirt and grime around, but there’s simply no litter – and I noted that people are very careful about depositing their garbage in trash receptacles around the city… Read More Final Notes in Puno…
