Play Laugh Fly

Day 11 - Many of our group opted to head to Cuzco to see some of the sights and wonders of Peru Cuzco is amazingly beautiful. The city has many trees (funny enough many of them are Eucalyptus from Australia!) and is very green. After a brief siesta to acclimatize, we went up to Sacsaywaman and saw some of the old temple ruins in downtown Cuzco.

Day 12 - NEW YEARS DAY! What a way to spend the first day of the new year! We went to Macchu Picchu. I hiked Waynapicchu, the hill overlooking Macchu with a small group of friends. I was the slow one! The views and the humid dampness of the area was fabulous. To be surrounded by crashing hills and rolling rivers and lush vegetation was breathtaking. And hiking down the hill we got a special treat: a double rainbow! An astounding reminder while standing in the ruins of an ancient dead civilization that God is still watching out for us!






















Day 13 - The flight back to Lima was short, but very VERY turbulent. I was not happy to be bounced and jounced around...nor was my stomach. Settled into a luxury hotel for the night. It was tough being there, remembering that only 40 minutes away were the hovels and slums where we had labored so hard just days before.


Day 14 - Last day in country. Spent the day with the Miller Family at the beach. Watched paragliders leaping off the cliffs and hanging around the in the air off the coast of Lima. Got sunburned and enjoyed the warmth radiating from my burn the whole trip home.
