Dr. Tom's Traveling News and Trivia™: Battle over artifacts from Machu Picchu

I visited Peru last summer and I was amazed by the diversity of Lima, Peru. The city is teaming with people - both poor and rich. The areas of Miraflores (upscale, luxury area where I stayed) and Barranco were very interesting.

Sipping Pisco Sours by the ocean, each ceviche, and the train ride to Machu Picchu are wonderful memories! This posting reminded me of the trip and made me long for sopa de quinua. It also reminded me of the Alpaca blanket that I bought and still haven't used as well as the pottery jug that broke on the trip home! Ah...and the 'street meat' that Tom and I ate - alpaca on a stick. It tasted great, but we were both sick for days after returning from Lima. How could I forget...
