My trip to Peru...there is so much to say, I don't know where to start! I'll just say that it was an amazing experience, and I would love to go back. So here are most of the (good) pictures I took in Sicuani, a small city high in the Andes mountains of Cusco.

Left: Rufina with her sons Isaac and Ishmael (She no

w has a third son who was recently born).

Bottom: Maranganí. A Quechua woman walking. Children playing in the dirt.

Above and left: Youth of San Felipe church demonstrate their traditional dances in beautiful handmade costumes.
