Thank you Jason
I take that as a compliment, because I try to write my blogs as if I were talking directly to someone. If you hear it in my voice, it means I am doing what I set out to. Thank you for the comment.

Weigh in
Hi B, I would hate to weigh in to get on that little plane. They would only take me and make me pay for the whole flight. Thanks for the blog and I really am enjoying all the ruins. Have Fun! T

Ah Ted, I'm sure they would only charge you half price if you looked fierce. I would be happy to show you how. lol Thanks for the comment. Have Dad and Mom been on the blog yet?

Nazca remembered
MJ here and I'm one of those people who got air sick. I was GREEN when we returned. Fortunately, I didn't get real sick until the end so I enjoyed most of the flight. A great book to read is Garden of the Gods. It talks about how aliens may have created these lines. After seeing them, one really can imagine that might be how they were created. Many of the locals believe it. We talked with them about it while we were there. An interesting world we live in.

Ah, memories.
I'm sorry you ended up green, but glad you enjoyed most of the flight. I tried to find that book before I left, but didn't have the exact title, so had no luck. Will search for it when I am home. Went sand-boarding yesterday. What an incredible time that was. Getting ready to head to Ica in an hour or so. Thanks for writing.

Fantastic photograph that encapsualtes Travelblog
Two bloggers I want to meet and there they are - in the same place at the same time! Tara and I have often corresponded about our love for 15th and 16th century polyphony, and wouldn't I love to spend time with you talking about foods of the world!

You couldn't be more right. I actually just wrote about that in my next blog. BTW, are you feeling that Peru is someplace you do want to visit? I know you were thinking about it.

oh I LMAO on the videotaping of the passengers. That is so they can identify your charred remains when the bus goes plunging off a cliff.

Nice, it is that extra level of service that I have come to expect. Good thing I tried to look dead when they taped me. lol Thanks for the comment. I hope this trip is bringing back some memories of your trip.

Food looks good to me
Hi B, I enjoyed the food pictures . Most of it looks really good. I wonder how one of the rodents would taste smoked? I enjoyed the mental picture of you looking fierce. Have fun and enjoy your holiday! Ted

Grrr!
Oh Ted, I was the picture of fierceness as you can just imagine. lol The food has been very good. I have a feeling the little rodents would be quite tasty on the smoker. Perhaps you should try a few before my next visit. I just had the most incredibly delicious rotisserie chicken for lunch today. It was the second time I have gone to this same restaurant. Absolutely the best chicken!

The memories are priceless
Dave here....good to hear from you again. Looks like the weather is cooperative for the most part and the views are just stunning. Sounds like you are having a great time! Looking forward to getting together and talking about "le grand voyage." Safe travels, my friend.

Moroccan food instead of guinea pig?
I'm laughing now. They can put those little rodents in all the sauce they want but they are still rodents. I'm with you....I would have selected the Moroccan food for a bit of a change. We found the Peruvian food but not great. We are so excited that you got to spend time with Tara. Hopefully, that will happen for us someday. In the meantime, we miss you and are ready to have you come back home.

I really liked that picture as well. Meeting up with a TB friend was a special time. I keep my eyes out for other TBers who will be where I am, but this is the first time it has worked. If you and Denise make a CA trip, give a shout.

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona. The next big adventure is a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This will once again i... full info
