brombus lodge
hi Laura, just a quick question: do you have the phone number of brombus lodge (hotel)? i have a friend travelling to peru today and he was supposed to stay there today, but i cant find any telephone number of this hotel... would like to know if he did arrive safely... cause i do not have any sign from him till now... (he is only 18 years old) thanks for a short note! gereon from berlin! gereon pilz ganghoferstrasse 2 12043 berlin

What a great commentary
Laura: You did such a great job describing your summer. I really did enjoy every minute of it. I think I will keep it on my computer for a while and reread it all over again. Bob has some friends in New Albin whose children have been in Peru, and their family joined them at the close of their summer, too. Thanks again for your efforts on behalf of all of us back home. Marilyn

that road you are describing to get to Santa Teresa was the road we took to get to the hidroelectrica plant with 18 people in a van including one on the roof!

it would be la pacarana esta aqui ;)

hey you
so you say "see you soon"... when will you return to the states> i'm bumming around minnesota for a while, so perhaps we will see each other>

Hi!
John has forwarded all of the blogs to me - I have loved all of them. I know your family is very excited to see you and be in Peru. I am very jealous - I hope you find Machu Pichu as magical as we did - we can't wait to talk to you about it.

Wonderful commentary
Laura: I have been at the computer for over an hour, reading your description of your travels, and the people, and activities. You describle your time and travels so very well, I feel as tho I' am there with you. Be sure to tell me about the markets!!!! Can't wait for the next update. Love you and look forward to visiting with you back in Iowa. Auntie Marilyn

Careful!!!!!!!!!
Great- -make me nervous about you on the roads,whitewater rafting, and drunken incan blonde sacrifices... Sounds like a GREAT weekend-appears you're making the very best of a less formal program than you had anticipated-keep up the independent study....(but be careful...) We're off to vail in 10 days-no single track hiways for us, just I 70. We're flying to Denver-will be a shorter trip of 5 days. Then home 2 days and off to see you. Can't wait. No formal lodging plans yet, but I'm sure we'll take yur advice and just stay in cusco the first day, so you can plan that way. Enough about the food already!!?$?@?$# worse than mom and mel............. High temp today is about 60 degrees- -odd. ?Any pics yet????or still slow internet. Can't wait to see you -and it'll be nice to have you home for a while. Hope you're not too homesick-you're already almost halfway through this half of the experience already. Think of some good things for us to do-although it sounds like just hanging out in the culture isn't all bad. Give us a jingle when you can. We'll try to nail down some dates for travel with you. Love you-DAD

Trivia
It is sooo good to read your blogs (and talk to you)! And nice to know your adventurous palate is enjoying the new taste treats. It occurs to me that maybe we can 'take care of' the creatures from the chipmunk condos in our new landscaping in a tasty stew?? Never mind. Our tastebuds here are enjoying the fruits of summer. After making frozen jam for ourselves and helping Kris and Dan with about 30 pints of jam yesterday, and eating them with cereal, shortcake, angel food, and ice cream (and the number that just find ones mouth during handling,) we'd likely bleed strawberry juice. And raspberries are ready for picking! The weather has been delightful; we need rain. I'm so ready for thunder and lighting. Summer seems to be flying. Thanks for staying in touch. Have a great week. Love you lots.

Love your Blog
Laura...I love your blog. Don't know how you have time to keep it up. I wrote you sometime ago, but sent it by private message. Don't know if you received it or not. What a wonderful experience this trip is for you. Can't tell you happy we are for the opportunity for you. We have been to Ely, MN fishing. (That's an oxymoron...there are no fish in MN.) Also to Colorado for a conference on Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine. Absolutely awesome! Next up is a visit to Kansas City to see Mark, and then to Colleen's wedding in Cedar Rapids. We will miss you terribly. Bet this all sounds pretty mundane to you. Keep up the good work! Love you much, Grandma

hi
sounds busy-a bit more your speed,now, perhaps.. have a great week-be fun and safe.probably talk to you next week? love you-dad.ps--send pics

Thinking of you
Laura, it's fun to hear from you so regularly! Thank you for taking the time to bring us up to date on what you're doing and thinking. We all enjoy knowing your situation and hearing your stories. I'm struggling NOT to comment on the weather here, but I think it's just a Minnesota thing to do. It's lovely (okay--gave up); not cool, not hot. A little windy, but it keeps the mosquitoes down. I tried today to work on the yard and found myself sitting on the deck looking up at the birds and squirrels in the trees. It's fun to think of you doing the same thing half a world away. We made a trek to the Mississippi on Saturday--the 10-minus-1 Grangaards--but that was NOT the same thing you were up to half a world away. So urban and open and beautiful, but a very different beauty. Yesterday we hiked again. To Lake Como to the Pavilion for a band concert. I think you'd have been a better pianist, though he looked like he was having fun. Swing, Jazz, Dance, Patriotic--they ran the gamut. I like your blog news and it's fun to get the stories from Tim and Karen, too. I look forward to seeing more photos when you're back. We know you're really busy--we're patient. Take Care and stay well. Kris and the rest...
