A TIME TO DANCE.





When was the last time you... 
Were serenaded by 12 men and proposed to?
Ate alfalfa out of a llama´s mouth?

Dined (desert first- cake baked by nuns) in a convent?

Juice-hopped in the Arequipa market?

Life is a journey! There is beauty to be found and someone near to share it with. So keep your eyes and heart open. Funny how in times of stress or uncertainty, even the most extraordinary of events can go unnoticed, uncelebrated!

Dad, Carmen and I just arrived in Puno, a city on the famed Lake Titicaca after a long journey- busting at the seams with golden hills, volcanoes, llamas and rocky rivers- from Arequipa. We are all feeling a little under the weather, worn from the road and our bodies acclimating to the heightened altitude. Nothing that a steaming hot round of mate de coco could not cure. The chilly winds are blowing. I have a sneaky feeling that before it is all over, our trio will be dressed in complementing, brightly colored and brilliantly patterned, hand-woven wool ponchos from the native Aymara and Quechua people.

Much love and remember, it´s always a time to dance (Ecclesiastes 3:4)!
