Last glimpse of Peru, People, Fauna and Flora
There was plenty of beauty in Peru not only in the amazing
landscapes and mountains; the people of Peru were amazing too. We were met with smiles, happiness, contentment
and a graciousness that often is missing here in the states. When we first arrived in Peru we couldn’t
help but feel a deep sadness for the people and their living conditions in most
areas; however, it only took one visit with the people for the sadness to be
replaced with an awesome respect and gladness for them. Many still wear the traditional clothing of
their country … which I really enjoyed seeing, but as you will see in the
photos some of the younger generations are adopting our more modern look.
Even the Military waved at us! |
Dancing in the square |
School sports |
Younger vs older generations |
You will notice anyone working is doing their work by hand or with hand tools - there were very few machines to help them. |
I had even more fun photographing the fauna. I love
animals as most of you know and, like the people of Peru, the animals seemed to
be as happy and gentle as the people! So
getting their photos was easy!!
And the fauna!!! Well, my second love – flowers, plants and green
stuff! The simple beauty of nature
cannot be beat! See for yourself.
Now of course we have been up to more mischief since our return
from Peru so keep an eye out for yet another chapter in ‘Goldens on the Road’!!
More soon ☺
