Lima, Peru – I know it’s going to seem to some like I’m giving Lima shortshrift by only writing one post on the city, especially after the seemingly endless droning I’ve been doing about other parts of Peru. But, this was our Lima experience… we had not planned on staying in Lima at all. If… Read More Lima Been
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

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…
