2x1 Maracuýa sours at the hotel Happy Hour in Aguas Caliente are really quite wonderful. Open air bar, 60°. Don’t blame me, we planned this trip in November.

That’s the Punchbowl on the left from our lanai in Honolulu. I’ll never forget hearing the guns saluting (and waking me up) on December 7, 1991; the morning of my first law school exam, Civ Pro.

Posadas Amazonas and the Tambopata Research Center were sublime experiences, but I’m happy to have four walls and heat here in Cusco. King bed is just gravy. Pollo a la brasa on point.

Back on the Boat! All bundled up as it’s 60 and windy but the WiFi is robust. Cusco today, Sacred Valley tomorrow, Machu Picchu Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wish I could be there but we’re in Peru.

Beautiful sunrise on the Tambopata River. First glimpse of sun since we arrived in Peru.

Another boat! Third one today actually. But this one has seats, electric outlets, and WiFi so we’re moving on up! The Tambopata River that is!

Stayed in a B&B, Second Home Peru, on the coast in Barranco, which was the home of sculptor Victoria Delfin, sculptor of El Beso at Parque Del Amor. His sculptures were all over the grounds.

Good morning Lima! 60 degrees, fog should burn off mid/day. Very San Francisco feel in the climate.

First class (on bonus points of course) is nice. “Would you like some sparkling wine?” Yes please.

People movers? I don’t think so. Not at Washington National Airport.

Lovely evening on the KenCen terrace.

About to become your go-to description, hard to believe you don’t know this one already. “Mauka showers are rain showers that occur in Hawaii's mountains and valleys, but can leave beaches dry. The word "mauka" means "inland" or "toward the mountains".”
