Let’s see if I can post some pics! Here are some pictures from the day of the festival: INTI RAYMI.
Cusco!
INTI RAYMI - The festival of the sun
The hike into heaven…the day of the revolution!
A billion people… seriously.
The fearless leader…
Peruvian Revolution! Charge the hill!
Gringo’s joining the revolt!
Locals…
This is the place where beauty blossoms from the ashes of our lives. This the place where I tell you my thoughts and you tell I’m wrong - and somehow we find beauty in it all.

My life is lived in a constant effort to serve others and not myself.
This, as I have discovered, is easier said than done. But everyday I learn more and more how to put my daughter, my wife, my neighbors and community, and my world before myself. Ultimately, I believe - this is faith. Living in love.
I enjoy creating: music, art, laughter & smiles, and peace.
I do not like: Pickles & Mustard.
I very much like: Chocolate Chip Cookies & Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream
I’ve never really gotten into drinking coffee or tea, or those other fancy things that “normal” adults do. I don’t understand business and the stock market, I’m clueless about competition, and I rarely understand half of comedians jokes… but I love listening to all types of people and discovering new things about the world.
Us Americans far too easily forget just how many millions and millions of people are out there in the world…people with so little (materially) but so much (relationally and spiritually). It would be wise for all of us to learn from the people around the world this proper perspective on life…it’s all about the right relationship we have with God and one another…nothing else matters.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us bro. By the way, could you email me with what’s the best email address to contact you (I think I have 2 or 3 of them…not sure which one to us, if any of them). Thanks bro. Look forward to seeing you, Robin, and Ami at the shower in a few weeks. You still golf? I’ll probably be going with a couple friends on Sunday August 10th over to Los Robles. Want to join us?
Godspeed,
John
Oh my goodness! What an incredible time. I’ve been right there and needless to say, I wasn’t leading a revolution. How amazing this experience must have been for you?
Were you huffing and puffing? The altitude was a butt-kicker for me.
