Day 4 (pt 2)

So many gorgeous churches here. This is a lovely cathedral by the town square where I will end my day doing something fun.

But first… to the nunnery. One of many UNESCO heritage buildings surrounding us. Lovely place. Many pieces of art on the walls, ceilings, etc. Not sure I understand what the angels are doing in one… but they seem happy. Could be that one of them ran off with the man’s beer…? M

Now dinner! Alpaca. When you nmgo to Peru, it’s a must… delicious. It’s like filet mignon. Very tasty. And the potatoes!!!! Thank you, Peru.

So, not to end the day just eating the alpaca, I went on a quest for baby alpaca yarn…. How could I not?! Got some!! Who needs a scarf?!
They actually keep the alpacas here and, instead of eating them, they shear them, spin and dye the wool, and weave gorgeous objects.

After such a bountiful day, my friend, Luis, and I decided we needed to pass on some joy. So we purchased four toys to randomly give to children. Best way for me to end the day!! Here is one mother talking to us in the Quechua language with Spanish sprinkled in.

Handing out toys in the park with Luis was like a glass of champagne. Bubbly and joyful and festive. Perfect end to a delightful day that was filled with joy.

Thank you, Peru.

Headed to Lake Titicaca tomorrow. Guess I will need more tea…. Night.Read more
