Learn About Peru, It’s People, Food and Handcrafted Jewelry

I love  Peru. It’s the place we have our second home, my husband’s birthplace, a place of unlimited travel opportunities with beautiful landscapes and a history of rich cultures. The people are warm, the food is incredible and the handicrafts are uncommonly beautiful including the artisan handcrafted jewelry, all rooted in traditions that are generations old. I hope to share with you our memories, adventures, and stories as well as photos and videos as quickly as I can learn to scan them and upload them.  Some of the things you’ll hear about are: Trujillo and eating fish eggs, Aunt Julia’s famous anticuchos, Machu Picchu and Jr’s tumble from the five foot terrace, the symbolism of native materials such as this spondylus necklace, the Cathedral in Arequipa’s Plaza de Armas, the 17 hour bus ride from Cusco to Juliaca, the Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca, helping my sister adopt our niece Natalie and our experiences navigating the court system…it’s best to just start.  It’s been quite a ride so far and a very enriching experience that I hope you will be tempted to partake in yourself.

Since my husband travels bi-monthly Peru for his business, exporting Peruvian foods to the U.S. and I travel frequently to bring back silver necklaces, earrings and bracelets for my website, I’ll always have more news to share here at Learn about Peru.
