We almost feel like we're there!
Beautiful photos; wonderful script. Too bad about the Condors. At least you can say you've seen them. We can hardly wait for the next installment. Take care, Denise & Paul

We really enjoyed your Peru post. It reminded us of our time there. My blog is looking for some good travel photos, articles, and reviews. If you have the time, check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com Continued fun on your travels, Eric and Heather

Worth waiting for
I was thinking it was a long time to wait for a new blog. It was well worth waiting for....so interesting. I will be disappointed when you come home. Language takes a long time to learn but think how far you have come!!! Cherie in a clean house.

Wonderful writting. Keep it up guys Angus and Rolande

Our ADVENTUROUS! travellers!! Who knew?
I have to agree with the comment about the potential book deal!!!! Your blog is so much fun - to quote Bill - it is like being there!! You could almost SMELL the guinea pig (is that a good thing?!) In consideration of what has been happening with Toyota ...if you are looking at taking other vehicles under your wings - maybe you should consider...I don't know - a late model KIA perhaps? It is fantastic that you are planted in one place and get to experience the real local culture - and so great that both you and Maureen are embracing all of that! KEEP US POSTED! ps: Just a quick reference to work - had 180 cbc's yesterday - new record I am pretty sure - I am wondering if people are not happing with recent pay parking implementation at the hospital!!!!

I smell a book
"A Year in Provence" was a fun read, but in a month you have more material than Mayle gathered in a year. These are laugh-out-loud experiences (not counting the relentless rain, mudslides, homelessness, death part, of course). And now you have a godchild - a new gas pedal would be a wonderful gift for the little guy! Loving your blogs. Keep safe.

Reaching out
howdy. Not sure about guinea pig, but I'll certainly start contemplating the idea of trying it. I've been navigating the net for the latest conditions at Machu Picchu as well as the road conditions. Then I thought, why not try getting information through a blog sites. So, here I am this being my first time blogging, so excuse me if I am out of line seeking answers. I also ask to bare with me until I'm versed with "blog" etiquette. I'll be visiting Cusco in mid-Feb 2010, and I am wondering if I'm going to be able to visit Machu Picchu. So far it seems as the Inca Trail, railroad, and Arequipa's roads are closed off. Are there other alternatives to get up to Machu Picchu? Your comments and feedback will be greatly appreciated. kindly, Teres Los Angeles, Calif. USA

Very Brave
Congrats on your bravery on two fronts - eating guinea pig, and driving in a Toyota. You probably haven't heard about the worldwide recall for sticky gas pedals that cause sudden acceleration ... a little unnerving on the kinds of roads you guys are traversing. Sounds like a fabulous experience, I'm enjoying the blogs.

wet travelling
hi what an adventure! is it sask. gumbo? enjoying your trip news. e

Good Grief
Well at least you don't have to shovel it...but I guess I could be wrong there as someone has to and it sounds like the locals as well as the visitors all have to get to work and shovel the goop. Can you imagine this happening on the way to Whistler,all those prima dona sports folks grabbing a shovel or whatever?? Love the pictures Sure relieved to see you are ok. Jacquie

are you OK??
Cusco was on the news last night with tourists being evacuated from Machu Picchu. Everything OK with you?? Got good gumboots? :) Val

Weather Adventure
You gave me the giggles! (nervous ones) I can see how Canada and slide protocol is so different from Peru. I am always nervous driving the Hope Princeton, hoping I will not see a slide or be part of one. I am nervous from Summerland to Peachland! I hope the rain slows so everyone can be safe and dry in their homes. Keep us posted! Cherie

wow..
Hi Larry and Maureen! I sure am enjoying your blog, stories and pictures! Kinda scary with all the rain though. And have you eaten more guine pig?? Just got back from Costa Rica. An amazing trip with highlight being seeing a scarlet macaw in the wild and baby Leatherback turtles on the beach. Our exciting moment was canoeing down an estuary with crocodiles and realizing our boat had a leak :). Can I send you my picture link at your home email?? Continue your amazing adventure. Buenos tardes amigos... Val.
