PERU COUNTDOWN 11 days

---

The Countdown is ON! 11 days until Cusco, Peru departure but of course we still have a Millennium+10 (Y2K.01) party to host on New Year's Eve 😊

This blog about our 3.5 months of learning Spanish in Peru will largely be Maureen's baby, but I'm (Larry)jumping in here first to get this thing started. Maureen is generally far more observant of the physical things going on when travelling such as geography, climate, wildlife, and people; I tend to be a bit better read on items like local spirits(alcohol, not other demons!), cigars, music, and bartering!

Photos should be a prominent feature of our chronicle...we now have a tiny camera (ie.less easily stolen) to cart along, as well as an eensie-weensie mini netbook computer to store pics and write blogs and e-mails.

The routine, mundane,and expected items for this journey such as flight bookings, vaccinations, spanish school registration, altitude medication for life at 3500m., and a place to sleep have been attended to...now it's all the unexpected things that will make for fun in writing here and to exercise Maureen's worry gene!

My lab co-worker Lynn is convinced that we'll end up as casualties of an Incan sacrificial ceremony...so if this blog terminates ABRUPTLY😞...well...just hope that we contributed to some poor South American's good fortune!!😱
