Peru Family Trip

We had a wonderful family trip to Peru.  Here are the highlights for each day:

Day 1:  Walking around the Lima Temple grounds.


Day 2:  Going to Church in Surco and visiting members of the church in their homes:
Day 3: Travel day to Puno/Lake Titcaca:
Day 4:  Visiting the Uros floating Islands on Lake Titcaca

Day 5:  Train ride to Cusco.  Morgan dancing during the entertainment show.  The train stopped along the way at 14,000 feet.  
Day 6:  Machu Picchu Day.  An absolutely thrilling day, which is worth all the effort it takes to get there.
Day 7:  Visiting ruins in the Sacred Valley of the Incas
Day 8: Ashley at the Incan fortress Sucsayhuaman, located outside of Cusco
Day 9:  Attending General Conference in Cusco and then eating at a local Peruvian restaurant with David, Roxanne and our travel agent Janny.  We ate pig's feet, beef heart, alpaca and guinea pig!
Day 10:  Meeting Taylor's mission president in their home.  What a treasured opportunity to express love to them and it made our trip complete!

Anniversary
