Peru is a great place to visit. The people are very friendly and the food most excellent. I didn't get to see all of the country but I am going back in a few months. Here are some pics I took, I had to have someone scan them for me. Click the thumbnails for a better view of each picture.

Most people think of Peru as being a jungle which it is in some parts. However, it is a virtual desert where I was.


As you can see in this picture, it is very dry and nothing grows except for sand and rocks.


This is where I stayed most of the time. This is in Lima


The lanscape looks alot like pictures I've seen from the Sahara in Africa. The main sport on the sand dunes is "sandboarding" lol.

The Pacific Ocean is very cold there. This is near Paracus.


The marking in the sand in this picture is said to be at least 2000 years old. It was made by the Nazca people

Great pics! Got any more ? lol

This is the small village of Veguita. Most people there had never seen a white man before much less heard anyone speak English. I was here for 2 days. The people treated me like a celebrity there lol. They offered me gifts food etc. Needless to say I wasn't used to the Royal Treatment they gave me. I would like to have stayed here.


Here we all are enjoying a snow cone on a hot day in Veguita.

Oh yes, This is only part 1

Brian,,,,great pics and thanks for sharing them with us. It looks like you had an awesome time. Can I sneek in your luggage when you go back ??? LOL

Why most certainly lol I really had a blast down there. I could move down there and retire which is awful tempting to me right now.

I ate some meat called Cuy (pronounced koowee) which was rather tastey. It turned out to be guinea pig!!!
Some people raise rabbitts and guinea pigs for food down there

Different cultures dude....I couldn't begin to tell you what I ate in the Phillipines and all over southeast Asia !!!!
