Tbt: Old Peru

Pisac is a village below Cuzco in the Sacred Valley of Peru. They have a wonderful market in the town center. The specialty is hand woven fabrics & tapestries that are of high quality, but very reasonable. Very picturesque with the towering sides of the Andes which then slopes even lower as one approaches Machu Picchu.

Here’s a look back…

It’s the first day of Spring, and we’re enjoying sunny days and temps in the 80’s, so it’s a pretty nice time to be in Arizona. The flowers are popping up daily (and our noses are running!) Some pics to follow in an upcoming post.

It’s a great day for roasting delicious coffee! Soon it will be time for cold brew 🙂

Hope everyone has had a good week. It was busy, but otherwise uneventful here in the desert of Northwest Arizona. Finally, the cold spell has broken and our daytime temperatures are in the upper 60s to low 70s again. Not a sign of rain in the forecast here, so our hopes of a special Spring wildflower season are diminishing. More rain, please!
