Vacation Pictures of Peru | Travel

Hi Everyone!

I finally had a chance to put together some pictures of our trip to Peru to share with you all! Not my usual kind of crafty post, but I think photography is an art and I love to practice it when I can. I tried to capture our experience, the people, the culture and of course the breathtaking views. Here are some of my favorite shots.

  10. Loved looking at your pictures. We lived there for 8 years in the 80s and early 90s and three of our children are Peruvian by birth. It's a country that has a special place in our hearts!

    Found you through "What to Do Weekends".
    Thanks for the memories.
