More Pictures of Peru

First I'd like to say, to those of you who gave me suggestions for a new blog name, THANK YOU!!! I had a very hard time choosing which one it was going to be, so hard in fact, that I did the "pick it out of a hat" thing. I, as you can see, picked "Looking Through My Lens". I hope you don't mind, but I actually changed it a bit, to "A Look...". Thank you so much for your ideas, I really like this title better then my first one. :)

Second, I thought you should see some more pictures from Peru. Sooo, here are a few random pictures from the "million" that we have. Enjoy! (Note: I am not sure if these pictures were taken by Mom/me or from someone else who went on the trip. We have all the pictures from everyone mixed together. So therefore, this post is "a look through many peoples lenses".)

::The mountain that we saw everyday::
This is the mountain that you could see when you stood in camp looking towards the entrance. This is also the mountain that we climbed! :)

::One of the towns we past through to get to Trujillo ::
(I believe anyway, it could be Trujillo, I can't remember)

::Working on the wall::
This is what we went to do along with other smaller things.

::Working on the walkway and flowerbeds::
One of the girls/ladies projects was to weed the flower beds and plant some new flowers in it. :)

::View of the mountains::
I think Mom took this picture while we were climbing the mountain

::Taxi rides::
One of my most interesting memories of Peru was the one night coming home from the Youth Meeting at the Stilwells church. There were six of us girls stuffed into a taxi (one up front and five in the back), which would have been exciting in normal traffic (normal for them I mean, which is getting to front even if you have to drive between two cars with only an inch between you and the other cars...), but this taxi driver and the other one that was driving with some of the boys decided to RACE!! There were several times I was certain we'd rash, but yes, it was very exciting in that very insane kind of way. :)

::The ruins that were a couple miles (I'm guessing) from the camp::
On the last day that we were in Peru we were able to go see some ruin sites. They were pretty neat.


::An overview of many of the people working::
Top right, guys laying bricks. Top left guys brushing off bricks. Bottom right, guys/girls sifting out stones from sand. Bottom left, making mortar.

Finally a Post!

Okay, okay so here is the post you've been waiting for. It seems like so long ago, so far away but it was really only last month that we were in PERU! Wow!

Looking out window on one of the flights we were on. It was a beautiful day!

Well I've seen these pictures a "hundred" times and I could look at them a hundred more times and I don't think I could get tired of them! Some of these pictures were taken by Bethany, I believe.
I'll see if there's anything else to post soon. Drama camp is in a few weeks. So once the week is over I'm sure I'll have a nice sized post ready to go. :)
