Hi Dad
.  We are in Cusco and trying to adjust to the altitude.  This is a beautiful, interesting town.  We have gone to the cathedral and the fortress today.  Frank is our tour guide.  We are learning  a lot about the Spanish decimating the Incas.
We have seen so many children here.  They like to say hello to Joe and smile at him.  The girls giggle.  Paddy carries his football in case he can find some open space to throw it with frank and joe.  Some of the guys have approached and seem fascinated by the ball.  Paddy and frank have played catch with them.
I will email more later.  Love, Jeanni

Our world travelers.


Hi Dad
The kids and I are in Lima.  It is how you described it to me.  We found an excellent sushi restaurant last night.  Then we had to figure out how to get back to the hotel.  Paddy has been helping us get around with his Spanish.  We are going on a tour today.  You mentioned the gold museum to me, so I think that's our first stop.
Mikie has a friend that works in Lima.  We are going to meet up with him before we fly to Cusco.
I'll send some pictures.
Love
Jeanni

Here I worried about all the weight I am packing on with the yogurt. I am looking at a local display of electric bikes. The motor does all the work, what else?
I don't know what I am thinking of. I get light headed just walking. There is a 360 miles stretch of off road trails near Jeanni and Frank I would like to try. Joanie says "Go ahead, ha ha"
