A few more pictures from Peru...in no particular order

Here comes the rain again!

I can get... 2.25 liters of Coke...and ít´s all mine!!!!!! This picture is taken in the Iron House (yep, that´s what they call it) famed for being built by Eiffel (yep, of the Eiffel Tower) and shipped down the Amazon to be reconstructed in Iquitos. It´s now the Amazon Cafe where we had a yummy dinner.

Some sort of pipe and serious tree roots...technology and nature in harmony (sort of)

Hi my sweets. I can't for your return and a "gift" of all your photos of the strange and wonderful places you have been and I will never see. I am still grinning from the monkey island photos. You burst my bubble. I thought that was a halo behind Jeremy's head and not a fountain. Sigh... You guys look like you having such a blast. I'm really happy for you. Still, I'm praying for your protection! Love, MOMster
