O.K. it only took me like two weeks but I have figured out how to put up some videos on the blog. As it takes more time then I thought it would i will not put up the twenty or so that I thought I was going to, but I will start out small with five or six and have this be a regular feature that breaks up the normal blogs with some videos until I run out of videos which should be right after peace is achieved in the middle east.
So, the first video comes from Cuzco, our first city in Peru. There were sidewalks.....sort of, but the cars ALWAYS have the right of way, OR you could pretend the cars do not have the right of way and wind up as a statistic. Sometimes the cars would lay claim to the narrow sidewalks as the video shows.
Next up is the Guinea Pig cook off. I have some video but for actual photos you have to back to that chapter in the blog, I have some photos of the baked guinea pig and they all look like they are screaming, ah the silence of the guinea pig.
That was the before and here is the after
One day while walking around town we just ran smack dab into a huge festival that lasted all day long. Here is just one of the "events" that was going on.
And that lasted for HOURS. In that order, 1. whip each other 2. some guy throws a bag at them and then jumps on one or both guys 3. both guys go up to the other guy in a pink dress, bow and walk away. 4. repeat for four hours.
I would also like to note that when they jump on each other and fall all over the place they are falling on STONE "Ouch".
Dressed up and carrying a saint back to his church.
And that is it for now. Next blog is all about coming back to the States and what I find good and bad about that.
Since I did not send out the link on the last e-mail I will this time but this is the last one, so be sure to save kitties from mars to you favorites. then check in about every two weeks I WILL update, do or die. Also check out the other blogs that I put in the Best of the Best spot, well worth the time.
Join us next time for "Readjustment".

I love the videos! You know I was thinking...the traffic jam...the sticky fish eggs...replace the saint with a Buddha and it's almost exactly like Japan! Well, except for guinea pig, we'd probably do sea cucumber and squid guts here. Still...
Funny you should mention that. Our friend, Jason who came down to travel with us did a lot of traveling in China (not that China and Japan are the same, I'm not saying that) and he said Bolivia had a lot in common with China.
