Brian, Watch out in Lima for pick-pockets! My experience in Lima was that little hands like to lift objects from you. A buddy of mine was picked for $1000 when we were there. But that's okay, he says it's okay because he wrote down the serial numbers!!! It must be too much sun in South American humor!! Hope you have a great trip and we will look forward to reading your blog. A. Audrey put the note on the grama, but can't figure out how to do it for herself.... she'll probably keep trying.
