Peru - Family Pics

Our trip to Peru was AMAZING ... such a beautiful country with so many kind and friendly people!! I've been short on time but I wanted to share with you some of the pictures, mostly of the boys. I'll upload more later and recount a bit of this wonderful travel.

In Huaca Pulluana, Lima.

We should have charged for pictures taken with the boys, for we would have made enough to recover half of the expenses of the trip! :)

Plaza Mayor, Lima.

Cuzco

On the Orient Express, heading to Machu Picchu. Santi was delighted to be "driving the train".

The train is moving!!!

Rain greeted us on our first visit to Machu Picchu.

Second visit to Machu Picchu.

Picture courtesy of Mateo - hiking up part of the Inca Trail to the Sun Gate.

Parecen la pura verdad ...

We made it!!! Mateo hiked up all by himself the entire 1.5 hours it took us to get to the Sun Gate! And he also walked all by himself on the way down!

Lago Titicaca

Loving the pinwheels Julio, our guide, made for him.

On the boat, going to Isla Taquille

With Julio.

Throwing the boat (an empty water bottle tied to a rope) that Julio made for him. Mateo never ceases to amaze me how he can have fun with anything!

Tough, tough life. Sipping wine - the moon in the background ... enjoying the sunset.

The driver on the second day of touring Lake Titicaca.

Climbing a watch tower in Uros, the reed island.

Flying a kite - yes, again Julio made it out of a trash bag and some reeds!

Mi guapura!

El Catirito de CIC

Some pictures of blondie upon school's dismissal today! He just melts my heart, he looks so cute!!!

I'll write more soon, but this morning, he said, "I like skool, Santi skool ICC, Mateo Campo." The school's initials are CIC - Colegio Internacional de Caracas, but the little guy says ICC.

For the record, the teacher tucked his shirt in!

He chose his Lightning McQueen lunchbox!

A classic Bossut-Ugarte pose!
