Good to be back!


A friend of ours, Michelle, came to visit in July, and after spending two weeks here in Iquitos, went on a two week trip in and around Peru. We hit up Arequipa (a gorgeous town reminiscent of awesomeness) and went on a two day hike into some of the deepest canyons in the world (Colca Canyons), and then we went to Lake Titicaca and visited some incredible floating reed islands, later we went to Cusco and saw some magnificent Inkan ruins (Machu Picchu) and then went back to Lima (the capital) on the windiest road in the world to wait for our flights (Kelly lost her supper).

It was a beautiful trip. Many pictures and good moments were had. When we arrived back in Iquitos, some of the girls were out front frantically waving and waiting to give hugs. It feels good to be missed. We are now back moving full steam ahead (Lisa and Casey are back now as well). Thanks for all the prayers and words of encouragement!

Here is a photo of some incredible craftsmanship by the Inka´s. Utterly amazing.

Here are some cool Alpaca hanging out at Machu Picchu.

Some incredible terrace work done by the Inka´s hundreds of years ago, still around today.

The scenery was amazing. We were over 10,000 ft. frequently.

Lake Titicaca. A beautiful lake with floating reed islands.
