Not a surprise. The quality of food in Peru is oftentimes just plain amazing. Fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables, and naturally raised meats raise the bar for everyone…Congrats Peru!

Machu Picchu Monday

It’s Monday again. After a quick flight back to Lima last night, we’re in Miraflores for a couple of days before heading home. I miss Tarapoto already!

Here’s your dose of Peru for today:

Last few days in Peru. My the time does fly when every day there are a hundred little things to be seen to. It will be good to get back home to Arizona though.

Here’s a look back at the National Money House (Office of the Currency:)

Thursday December 13th. Just a short while longer to Christmas day, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. In Peru, Catholicism is widely practiced, and the the 24th is the big night of dining and midnight fireworks.

Luckily, we all prefer to eat earlier, say around 9:30 pm. Eating a big meal at 12:30 am just doesn’t work for me, but we will stay up and have a toast while we marvel at the vistas above on the 4th floor. There will be displays in every part of the city, and floating candlarias in the air. It’s really quite a spectacle.
