Hi Everyone,  I'm just learning how to do a blog, so you may have to be patient with me.  As I think about our trip, I get goose bumps with anticipation.  It will be such fun to travel with Sara and Phyllis and then to share it with all of you.

Tonight we got a start on preparing for this trip by having dinner with Diego and Martin at Madison's Peruvian restaurant.  Diego is from Cuenca, and wanted to tell us all about the city in preparation for our visiting it.  He really whetted our appetites for the trip.
