Most everything is done and I’m amazed that it is only one more sleep before Jean and I leave for Peru. How exciting. I’ve a busy day ahead but most of it is fun stuff. My dear friend Carol gave me an ultimate manicure and pedicure for my birthday this year and I thought it highly appropriate to schedule that for the day before Peru as that is Lawrie’s birthday gift to me. Maybe turning 50 isn’t all bad?
Normally I don’t do ‘tours’, this is an exception and I’m really happy to be going to Peru with Puchka Peru. Visit the site to see why! Puchka Peru
“PUCHKA takes you where others don’t go, in a way that others don’t do in a land that is an open museum of cultural adventure. PUCHKA is not only a cultural tour but also a textile school. Our mission is threefold: to guide you straight into the heart of a nation’s breath-taking artistic heritage; to take you deep into the lives and creative spirits of the artists themselves; and to support and promote the extraordinary textile and folk art communities of this remarkable and enchanting nation.” excerpt from Puchka Peru website.
So tomorrow starts the adventure … the tickets were booked in January, but all good things come to those who are patient. We leave Whitehorse at 6:50 am and arrive in Lima at 6:55 am the day after. It will be a long day. Then follows an extra day in Lima and the 22 days of the tour. We arrive back in Whitehorse on November 6th. I don’t think I will be doing any blog updates in the interim. I’m hoping to do a good job of writing in my journal and will sort it all out when I get back to high-speed, unlimited time. It also seems a waste of holiday time to spend much of it at a computer.
Chao, chao!
