Ah the joys of Peru
Glad you are getting a good history lesson. We'll be glad to hear your thoughts after you read that book on your return. I'm sure the stories are close enough to give you the idea of historical events. We loved our time in Peru and are eager to read more. Thanks for your impressions.
