Taquile, Peru
Friday, July 18, 2008
Went on a tour of Lake Titticaca today...and it was a long day. The lake was really pretty, and the floating islands were cool. The have have that are made out of reeds that are anchored to the ground. Got to go in Joseīs hut and look around. They have virtually nothing, but they have solar panels so they can have lights at night. The Isle of
Taquile was kind of a letdown. About 500 steps up (no kidding) a meal of rainbow trout (which I didnīt eat), and 500 steps down. Twisted my ankle pretty good, and since it the third time on the trip (remember falling in the bathroom) I might need to let somebody look at it when I get home. It is black and purple all the way around. Juli just leaves me like Dad does to Mom. Really, she did check on me on the Island. Overall, we were on a boat for about eight hours today. I feel like Gilligan. We did brave the cold to go back to the same restaurant tonight, and I made amends for not having lunch. It was fantastic once again. Iīll probably check back later tonight and then in the morning before check out as we begin our trip back to the States.
Pacey, Mommy and Daddy are excited to see you again and we love you.
Mr. Peru

Hi Toby,Well I guess all good things must come to an end. I suppose you will be glad to get home. You should have eat that rainbow trout. That is very good. It has been hot here today but that is better for me than being cold. Everyone will be glad to see you and I shall pray that you have a safe journey home.
Safe Trip Home
Hope everything goes smoothly for the trip home. Put some ice on that foot and try to keep it elevated-Love Mom

Sounds like you have seen many different things. Pacey is doing ok. He does have runny nose, ran a low grade temp, but seems ok. He plays and plays with his toys. The benedryl and tylenol help. The gifts everyday were a great idea, he gets so excited. He loves to listen to the tapes, he wants to hold the player himself. We talk about you being on a 'trip'. Yesterday he said 'Peru', today you are on a 'trip' to St. Jacob. Enjoy the cold, it is very hot here, 96. Love, Grandma Deb
