Peru (part 1?)

I recently returned from a trip to Peru. The trip was from March 3-15. It was a vacation, but a different kind of vacation. I went with my dad and we stayed with my Aunt and Uncle. The food was great, the activities were educational and I met a lot of extended family member. It was nice to be free of responsibilities for a while, but it was also nice to come back to my family.

Colorful homes, the government gives the people in this area paint for their houses


We stayed in one of the buildings in the back ground



Eating at "Rustica"- a peruvian buffet, it doesn't get any better

Almost daily relaxing spot at the Marriott in Lima



Pucusana, looking back at the mainland from the island



Antonio has been selling ice cream in Pucusana since my dad was little.


A small taxi (a motorcycle with a shell) and the poor houses up the mountain


On the way to Pucusana, a man reinacted a Friar's suicide by jumping off the cliff.
