... Patrick and Kathy for their part in our present circumstances. Without them, I’m not sure what we’d be doing but with them, here we are running around all over the place. Patrick couldn’t join us for lunch, but Wendell and I drove to our favorite restaurant…Felipe’s Taqueria…on Foothill at Archibald in Cucamonga. We were disappointed to learn that Felipe had sold the restaurant in 2005, shortly after Wendell’s ...

For the rest of time I was in LA I hung out with my friend, Michael Gooch, and got a pleasurable taste of being a local in LA. It was great not doing any touristy sightseeing and just hanging out doing the local thing.

OK, so I did one touristy thing, I took a walk down Hollywood Blvd to see the Chinese Theatre with all the palm prints in the sidewalk and the stars up and down the street.

To save an expensive taxi to the airport the next day we got on the buses again, having planned the route online I knew where we were going.

... company logo and the scattered Mr īEdī on the end of the line would offer us up a old bomb car to drive around but he pulled up in our flash little 4 door that was probably the nicest car Íīve ever driven... Then, watch out Los Angeles, Keithaīs on the road!!! The other-side-of-the-road driving experience went better than expected without any major crashes, incidents or mortalities. I only had one crazy-foreign-driver-moment ...

Ahhh, home again, my puppy Jasmine is as excited to see me as ever!!!! Here are some of my after thoughts of this trip and Peru in general: 1) It is definitely one of my TOP trips, the sights such as Machu Picchu and Cusco are just Amazing. Machu Picchu really lives up to its fame and name, one of the most incredible place in the world. IT IS A MUST SEE !!! 2) Be prepared for unsanitary toilets. No toilet covers is the norm. Bring your own ...

... just didn't make much sense. Still i got there and settled down to wait for Anita. Hours passed. Hours more passed. I went for a walk down the street to the supermarket where everything on the shelves was giant. I bought the smallest thing possible and headed back to wait. and wait. I was sure Anita was to arrive about 3pm and at about 10pm I was really getting worried so i rang home and asked ...
