I had SPIcy spagHETTI and dulce de leche cookies, and orange mousse. It was REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say hi to everyone for me. BYE! :)
Johanna: Hallo! Peru is really, really fun as I have already told you! On Saturday we went all around Lima and went to the beach and ate lots of great food. We were going to go eat chocolate churros, but we couldn't get it. At dinner, we ate at this place where chickens were kept on the roof and killed/butchered to be served to us. We heard the calls. EW. No, it wasn't real. They were only recordings, but it sounded really real. Today we flew to Cusco and went really slow. We went to temples and cathedrals. We bought some stuff for souvenirs and gifts. We also went to a buffet where I ate tons of Peruvian food and people danced for entertainment. This trip has been really fun! Miss you! See you soon! ADIOS!
Elizabeth: Hello Mom and Dad. I've been having lots of fun! We walked around Lima on Saturday and flew to Cusco this morning. I'm extra tired now from the thin air on the mountain... Also the food here is really good. By the way I'm not taking a lot of pictures; I'll try to take more. Or you can look at Mrs. Gerrans' and Johanna's pictures... The trip is awesome! See you in a week!

Airport in Lima
Sometimes we just had to sit around & wait. Our flight was late, something we found out was quite normal.
Cusco Airport
We've arrived in Cusco!
Eco Inn, Cusco
Our hotel foyer/lobby waiting to head to our rooms.
Museo Koricancha
Incan society meets Spanish society in this magnificent museum. The Incan walls were covered over with plaster until the 1950 earthquake at which time the Incan walls were discovered & have since been restored. The kids are getting a wonderful history lesson!
Museo Koricancha
Outside the Museo. Believe it or not, we are being rained on at the time of the photo. The drops were quite large!
Cusco Basilica Cathedral
We were not allowed to take photographs inside the Cathedral. The interior was breathtaking!
