Peru, Travel

Tbt: Old Peru

It’s been a busy time, besides all of our coffee business, we now have our Airbnb in Tarapoto, Peru (link here.) As if that wasn’t enough, our old land business has awakened again after sleeping for years here in lovely Yucca, Arizona in the northwest County of Mohave. (Link here.)

We work long hours, but it allows us to live in a beautiful place. Multi-tasking is good, but tiring.

We were able to sneak back briefly to Peru earlier in the month. We want to have everything ready for our trip in the fall. It will be our first time playing “tour guide.” We’ll be stopping by to see the incredible ceramic works shown below.

Here’s a few more of the many delights at Museo Larco in Lima, Peru.

Hospital ship USNS Comfort leaves Peru after treating 4,500 Venezuelan refugees

In Peru, over 4,500 patients were treated and over 100 surgeries were performed aboard the ship. “This morning the mission ended with expected success, having seen a great number of patients and provided medical services to the community in general,” said Vice Adm. Manuel Váscones, chief of staff of the Peruvian Navy on Sunday, at a ceremony to end the visit. “The commitment of cooperation that the governments of the United States and Peru have undertaken only reaffirms the solid bilateral relations that allow the execution of humanitarian efforts like this mission.”

The ship is a non-combatant hospital vessel typically staffed by officers of the Navy’s Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Medical Service Corps, Nurse Corps and Chaplain Corps, and enlisted Hospital Corpsman personnel.
