Now this made me think … then smile and go ahhhh … as I have my suspicions on where these gifts came from. So this is a sincere Thank You to my anonymous gifters (and if I remember correctly there is another party involved with information 😂).

As a reader and you’re wondering what in the world these are … these are KLM Airline’s Dutch Delft House miniatures. They replicate the gables of the houses lining the canals in Amsterdam and is a numbered series. You can buy the set, but it’s just more fun to collect them when traveling - or in this case, also when gifted. My neighborhood is growing! Thoughtful indeed! 🥰😁

After a lite Afternoon Tea hosted by Belmond at the Sanctuary Lodge (steps away from the entrance to Machu Picchu - so convenient and a pleasant stay) , we traveled from Machu Picchu to Cusco in comfort and style - this luxury train was about a four hour trip in a lovely setting with delicious Peruvian food. You could also get up and go to the lounge car to hear live music and visit with others. I’d recommend all of it!

Classic angle. So much history and surprisingly so much still stands (and there is replication here, too, based on available information). Considered one of the “seven wonders of the world”. Worth the climb - and yes it is one - and we were fortunate to have great weather today. One of those bucket list sites.

On the Peru Rail Vista Dome train (windows in the ceiling and walls) as we head to Machu Picchu. Such pretty scenery and very different, as always, from a city look.

Stopping for a surprise break and fabulous view of Cusco. This punch is awesome!!

It takes a little bit to get there but oh so worth the drive/ride! The beautiful setting and backdrop, groomed grounds with so many flowers, attentive staff, and absolutely delicious meal of fresh and local ingredients! It also has a museum in which you’ll see some photos of artifacts. Muchos Gracias!

Loving this hotel! The service is awesome and such a comfy room with the kind of amenities that make you feel really spoiled.

It is disembarkation day … and we have lovely to-go snacks - yummy!

Awesome cruise, accommodations, staff, activities and food … the whole package - Mucho Gracias!

Can one say what an awesome finish to our last day of excursions on our Aqua Expeditons cruise!!! Lunch served by our ship’s spectacular Chef, Cruise director, Guides and Drivers today ON … yes on … The Amazon River amidst a bunch of butterflies, birds and jungle sounds on a sunny afternoon. Talk about an idyllic setting. Check out lunch photos - delicious chicken and rice with different accoutrements - and that dessert was like an almond sandwich cookie with a caramel dulce followed by a hot cup of coffee for me. Cheers!

After a drive from Iquitos to Nauta, you arrive at your embarkation point. I put info with each photo to get you in the adventure mood. 😁 The Amazon is vast and tropical, with lush foliage and tons of wildlife. Really amazing!

The serenity of floating down the Amazon in Peru topped off with this sight to appreciate. Neat indeed.

And the Amazon adventure begins!

Scenes from Lima, Mira Flores, and San Isidro while touring yesterday and today. A city of 10-11 million people with quite a bit of history. Temperature is mid 60s and cloudy, and so glad it isn’t raining.

Good morning sunshine 🕶️. Gorgeous views -

Had one day in San Francisco, so made the most of it with a private driver/guide - which I highly recommend to make the best use of time and has the most flexibility. And our guide, Mary, was awesome! Headed out from the Pier, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge with a viewing stop, Marin with a stop for a delish lunch, vineyards and shopping in Sonoma, touring of San Fran, and of course redwoods!! A full day, but got everything we wanted to do/see completed!

Here's a chuckle as we were enjoying the day - and THE WARMEST mitts - wow! Loved this experience and education. I highly recommend the gear - you'll stay toasty and be able to enjoy the experience.

Teams are intentially balanced - it's neat teamwork.

we are ready to go!

One BIG library … Seoul Starfield Library.

One BIG library … Seoul’s Starfield Library - @ the COEX Mall.

Isn’t that view amazing! One half of the view 😁

And then the opposite side of the road at Boulder Falls - have to admit that while the falls are nice, this side might be more of my favorite.

The Falls in Boulder Canyon Drive - Boulder, Colorado

I’ve had folks ask how much movement do you feel on a river cruise …. So I took this - outside the window is the movement of the water as we are sailing … watch the water in the glasses on the table. And you’ll also see how close you are to shore/towns/cities with the buildings in the background.

A video of the shoppe - it wouldn’t let me post it in my main post. So many choices! Thank you for the video, Kelsea Eckert!

Bunch of fish!

The sea turtles

The rays!

The schools of fish were not small in number!

Sharks were there

Trying a new restaurant, meeting a friend from Illinois, and adding new friends …. While trying new dishes! This one is Biryani in a clay pot. And wow was it delicious! This is Basmati rice baked in a clay pot with a variety of spices and additions to the rice. Their naan is what is baked on top.
