General San Martin, Peru

What a surprise and what a contrast to Lima, when we looked outside this morning and saw ---



--- a moonscape with 3 giant aliens looking as if they are awaiting orders from R2D2. Watson says that they are actually pieces of equipment for scooping up and lifting large objects, but I'm not so sure.

After breakfast we joined a tour and ventured out into the Peruvian desert. For five hours we explored incredible landscapes.








Far inland, we saw fossils, indicating that the desert had been under the sea at one time.





At one of our stops, we were introduced to a young woman who is building the beginnings of a a high-fashion empire in this unlikely location. Her website: www.sumaqkayparacas.com.

And now, heading out across the Pacific. Next stop, Easter Island. Goodbye, Peru!
