Peru!!

Holy crap i cannot even begin to tell you about my trip. It was better then i expected. i absolutely loved it. to start off here are just a few pictures!

These way cute little boys ran up to us and grabbed our suitcases and started wheeling them off to our bus. Peru children are the cutest kids ever. it showed me how blessed i am. i saw my nephews in these boys and it made me wonder why we get born into the families and lifes that we do.




Cusco





This was our first stop after we landed in Cusco, got on the bus and went sight seeing. Some weird cathedral or something. But i was not immune to the street sellers and little begging children at this point yet. So when the first child sitting there on the steps saw me and my money pouch hanging out he ran to me crying and holding out his hands mumbling out "for my lunchhhhh" everyone i was with acted as if this was no thing. Of coarse i gladly handed over 10 Solas. From then on my group made fun of me because i got Suckered into buying unnessesary articles of crapola because i had such a compassionate heart ha.

These ruins are called SEXYWOMAN. with an accent :) so funny
The Peruvians are sooo nice to let you try it on! untill they won't let you take it off... as she did with me and made me buy it. if anyone is intersted, give me a call
This is Cocoa
tea and it was for the
altitude sickness. also something really fun was that the leaves you put in it are what you use to make COCAINE. HELLO i cant drinnk this. although if i could have gotten a bagf through customs that would have been nice to make some money on the side. I don't even know if i could pass a drug test from drinking this stuff. awesome :)
They love their god/christ people. these
were all over the place. big or small.
Cute little grammy nitting something cute to try to make someone buy but they will not want it because it itches them, gives them a rashy. reasons like that. also because every single person on the street are selling the same things. Peru seriously needs to pick up a new craft. But luckly my cute lil Llama is in the
picture :)
It was Cara and I who got chosen to be sacraficed because we had blonde hair and they love that in Peru! It was like
we were famous. One boy actually got down and bowed to us. like whoa i loved it. BUt also everywhere we went to got cat calls like crazy. it was hillarious!
MORE COMING SOON!

I've been anxiously awaiting these pictures and descriptions. I love them. Can't wait for the more to come. I love how you describe their sales technique. I was the same way in Mexico on all points. I'm so glad you were able to go. What a fun experience. Is the boy in the bottom picture your BOYFRIEND???
