rain
Holy cow!! I am glad you are safe if not dry.. The ruins look amazing . It actually has been raining in California and there has been snow in the Mojave desert.

Hay guys! So great to read on your adventures. I'd forgotten about the stairs. How was 'sexywoman'? Never did get to see it. Yes I am still remiss in getting the crepe restaurant info to you. But if you are facing the cathedral in Plaza de Armas with the fountain behind you, go left down the road about 500m and it should be around there somewhere...

RAIN Si!
Thanks for writing Errol. It is definitely rainy season right now...at least one very strong downpour each day (sometimes 2...or 3!). However, the locals swear that the rains will dwindle as the months pass and by April they should almost subside. In the meantime, the sun comes out every day for a while or more and is quite warm when it does. For the moment, raincoats or umbrellas are definitely warranted. This goes for Cusco only, can't speak for other locations...

Weather
We are planning a trip to Peru in the next few months. What is the weather like since I have read that now is the rainy season. Your description of your stay has been interesting.

Very Interesting
I could not eat guinea pig. I really enjoyed reading your blog. I talked to Anne who was also worried about you....had you found the staircase to heaven....no you are safe. Thanks for all the interesting stories complete with great pics. I love the children play stories. Cherie

Hey Sue
So nice to hear from you...Brooks is most adventurous...good for him. Does he anticipate using Spanish in future career choice? You should try to visit him, yes?? Thanks for your positive feedback...we're having fun in Cusco (when we can breathe!!)

food
You were very brave to try guinea pig. Let us know if there is a recipe for it that really appeals to you. I have heard that it is very high in vitamin D.... Robin

very stay in Peru
Very interesting and well written, Larry. My son, Brooks just arrived in Buenos Aires last week and will be taking 3 hour Spanish lessons at the university, 5 days a week for the month of March. He is very excited to do that although he has had previous classes at UVic and in Panama a few years ago. Continue to enjoy your travels and adventures! Hi from Penticton. Lyndi was the one that encouraged me to read your blogs! Sue

Your Teachers
Are your teachers younger than you? I remember how it felt to be the oldest in my class and all thoes young minds like sponges. I hope you have fond memories of your classes. I found the dream was the best part the second best part was the memories but sitting in class was painful. Have fun Angus

Hey Laurel
Thanks for the positive feedback...we're having fun, but this learning Spanish is hard work! Please feel free to share our blog with anyone you wish...everyone should know how linguistically challenged we are! Can you send an e-mail to my SHAW e-mail address so I can capture your address (don't seem to have it??) Thanks again Laurel and thanks for the lab update
13th January 2010

Wow It all looks and sounds amazing!
Lar and Maureen! What a great blog site and what great blogging, you two! Sorry I didn't get a chance to wish you Bon Voyage - thought I would catch you in lab before you took flight! Stories and photos are terrific - keep it up! Would you be OK with me sharing with the lab? I know all would be interested! All good here - BUSY! BUSY! Working quite a lot of course (Dig Dig..) but everyone is very accommodating as to time needed for wedding planning! (Feb 27) Look forward to the next installation! Hasta La Vista! (That's Spanish - right?!) Be safe and healthy! Laurel

Leave the poor guinea pigs alone!
Don't you know that kids up here keep them as pets?! Glad to hear you're not feeling so sick. We'll be sure to decrease the amount of oxygen in the house when you return. We may not visit however. :)
