Dear Ellen,

My wife did lots of prep work for our recent trip to Peru. She found a trek company for our hike to Machu Picchu, a nice area to stay in Lima, and she brushed up on her Spanish.

BUT, neither of us were prepared for breakfast accompanied by Michael Jackson’s greatest hits … in bossa nova form. No one can (or should) train to handle that.

Day 1, getting a good look (stinking clouds) at what we would be walking toward.

Day 2 we awoke to clear skies and a beautiful view of the mountains around us.

Day 3 ... Oh, just some beautiful mountains and valleys and a river and la la la.

Dear Ellen,

This postcard is misleading. You would think that, at Machu Picchu, you could admire the beauty side-by-side with a llama – but nope! Those crafty fellas hang out in areas where tourists aren’t allowed. I don’t blame the llamas, mobs of tourists are a bit much … But, boy, llama, you missed an opportunity to have a selfie with me and Machu Picchu in the background!
