We were so excited about going to Peru! We had our days planned out and we were ready to go. We visited Lima, Cusco, Aguas Calientes & Machu Picchu. There is just too many photos to share in one post, so I will be doing a few blogs about our experience! The first photos I will share is us traveling to Peru and arriving in Lima. We arrived early in the morning and spent the whole day touring the city. I think one of the best choices we made for our trip was we had a travel agency plan out our days so that we could see as much as possible. The company "Best Peru Tours" was amazing from Day 1 to the very last day we were there. They were waiting for us with a sign at the airport as soon as we got off the plane and they picked up our luggage and made sure we made it to our hotel. The gentlemen from the company checked us in and then he showed us our itinerary for the day and when/where we would be picked up next and what tour we would be going on. They made sure to always pick us up for our next tour on time and made sure we made it back to our hotel(s), they recommended the best places to eat, the best places to shop, the best places to see that wasn't already on our tour package. They made our stay in Peru very easy, enjoyable and FUN!!!

I really hope you enjoy my photos! :)

Lima, Peru

This was our first day, we had just arrived in Lima after a long, very long overnight flight. We did not sleep very well on the plane, but we were determined to not let the day go to waste.

We freshened up and toured the City of Lima!

Changing of the guards at the Presidential Palace!

Below is a little video that I captured. :)

Ric and the kids! Love this photo. :)

I am in there somewhere! haha....

Ric was doing magic tricks for the kiddos that we met outside of the catacomb tour. They were all so excited! In the video below, you will hear me talk a little spanglish! LOL! I don't speak Spanish very well, but the kids did not understand me so I tried. :)

They just loved that we were from the United States.

She wanted a photo of just her and I. So cute!

We decided to eat at a place called Norky's for dinner.

It was so delicious!:)

This was AH-MAZING!!! Lomo Saltado con Risotto. One of the best dishes I ate while in Peru. We actually went back on the very last day just so that I could eat it one more time before we had to come back home. Soooooo yummmy!!! :)

Roads were crazy and saw several drivers(taxi drivers) reading the newspaper. As crazy as the roads were, I am surprised we didn't see any car accidents. They told us when we are walking in Lima, to cross the streets, you either have to wait, wait, wait, or RUN! We ran!

The next morning, we flew to Cusco! :)

Heading to Cusco! More photos to come soon........
