Where will we go next?

Sunday, June 4, 2023: Final Thoughts

We had to get up at 2am. I wasn’t able to sleep AT ALL. Oh well, I can sleep on the plane. Our taxi arrives at 2:30 as we need 4 hours before our 6:30 flight … sounds like overkill to me...

Saturday, June 3, 2023: Coffee Lima Beans

Today we have a full city tour of Lima. We are excited to see some new sights. Our first stop is a trendy coffee shop called Terruá. I don’t drink coffee, but I will try to enjoy it. César told...

Friday, June 2, 2023: Peruvian Artist

We left Cusco by plane. See the glaciers. They are rapidly disappearing due to climate change. By evening, we were back in Lima. We had dinner with Kati in a restaurant that overlooked the Pacific...

Monday, May 29, 2023: A Memorable Day

Today we took a train through the cloud forest to Aquas Calientes. This is the closest town to Machu Picchu. A native tribe gives us a sendoff with dining and dancing. I got caught up in the action...

Sunday, May 28, 2023: The Sacred Valley

Our local guide today is Adelky. The driver, Carlos, told me that he is the best. It turns out that he was the tourism instructor for Kati, our G-Adventures guide, when she was getting her degree at...

Saturday May 27, 2023: The New Groove

Qosqo is the ancient name of Cusco and sounds more like Costco. Cuzco has many monikers. Cusco is considered the center or navel of the Inca Empire. Or it could be called the Rome of South America...

Friday, May 26, 2023: Arequipa

We checked into an unusual room in Arequipa. It was right outside the rooftop bar. It was weird to open the door and see a group sharing a drink together. I didn’t take a picture of them that...

Wednesday, May 24, 2023: Pachamanca

We started the day with a hearty breakfast. We always find something interesting to try. Something new. I had never heard of older jam. I tried it and it tasted like elderberry jam. Oh. Now I get it...

Tuesday, May 23, 2023: Pisco and Sand Surfing

This morning we went on a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands which are known as the The Poor Man’s Galapagos. Pirates saw this Nasca Line named “Chandelier” that was easily observed...

Sunday, May 21, 2023: United Church of Lima

Today we walked to the United Church of Lima. This was an English speaking church that was originally started for ex-patriots but now welcomes everyone. We were surprised to see a new amigo named...

Saturday, May 20, 2023: Rob and the Larco

The Larco Museum was established in 1926 by the Peruvian archeologist, Rafael Larco Hoyle. Rafael Larco measured the alternating layers of sand between the marks left by the flooding of torrential...

Friday, May 19, 2023: La Comida y Más

Perú has three distinct regions: coastal, highlands, jungle. There are 3,000 types of potatoes. The color, size, and shape will be different with altitude, soil makeup, and sun. The story goes that...

Thursday, May 18, 2023: Looking Forward to Lima

My father has passed away. Dad always teased Rob about his love of travel but encouraged us to explore the world. He looked forward to our return with stories of great adventures. This time, of...

May 17, 2023: A Legacy

To whomever follows this blog: My heart is heavy today. My dear father, Stewart Boone, died one week ago at the age of 98. Words cannot describe how much he meant to me. He was my biggest cheerleader...

Day 5: November 1, 2022 Yorktown

Rob and I had been to Yorktown in February for our anniversary so we knew the town a bit. We stayed at a charming Bed and Breakfast called The Hornsby House. The town can be walked in a day and most...

Day 4: October 31, 2022 Cruisin’

We boarded the American Star and headed out of the Baltimore Harbor. Just as we approached the Key Bridge, there was an abandoned fort on the port side named Fort Carroll. It was built under the...
