Photos from Peru

Rita and I “won” a pair of round-trip tickets to anywhere LAN Airlines flies in South America. It was a promotion, I think because they had just opened the San Francisco market.  It happened at a favorite restaurant, Bocanova – a “Pan-American” restaurant in Oakland’s Jack London Square – a perfect place for them to do this promotion! Every single diner AND every single employee working that that night got a voucher. We had two weeks to book and we had til the end of the year to take the trip, so we sat down with our friends (who had joined us that night) to make plans. We looked at Argentina, too, but our friends had some excellent connections in Peru so that tipped the scales.  I have always wanted to see Machu Picchu.

This link will take you to my photos and Rita’s, too. We’re both adding more images to our collections, so check back again in a few days.

After visiting Sillustani (near Lake Titicaca), our tour group stopped for a photo op.
