I live in the Smoky Mountains and I have never been so blown away by views of mountains. While we were in Peru, we helped Ninos del Sol remodel the third floor of the house for the Ninos. The floor was covered in windows which were filled with amazing views.
The scenery wasn't the only thing beautiful about Peru. The people were so kind and welcoming that it surprised me. I prepared for the trip by buying a one belt and an anti-theft bag, but in reality I did not even end up using the belt because I did not feel threatened anytime we were in Urubamba. The second night we were in Peru a Shaman and his wife came to include us in an offering ceremony to Pacha Mamma. Beforehand, they brought handmade goods to sell to us. each time one of us bought something they would bless it and ask for abundance for us. Later that night the Shaman requested abundance. also for the U.S. and thanked the U.S. for allowing us to visit his country.
