Mom visits me in Peru!

'You are now becoming what you are someday going to be.' - Jim McEachern

The past couple weeks my Mom and I have traveled around Peru. What a special treat to have Mom around! We met in Lima, the capital of Peru. The next day we traveled to Ica and visited an oasis in the middle of the desert. Then to Nasca to visit the famous and ancient geoglyphs in the desert. And the past week we have been relaxing in the Sacred Valley near Cusco. We volunteered at an Eco Yoga Farm near San Salvador, visited Incan ruins in Pisac, partied with Hare Krishna friends for their holiday, and met amazing people.
Thanks again Mom for making the time to visit me here in Peru. We will remember this forever!

We climbed some ancient Incan terraces in Pisac

Mom wanted to see what a local home looks like. So we knocked on a door and asked to be shown around. We are standing in the kitchen, very simply and small. This woman was extremely nice.

Mom and I take a ride in a motor taxi. This is a motorcycle with a sitting area attached to the back. They are abundant, super cheap and quick to get from place to place

Mom and I volunteered at an Eco Yoga Farm in the Sacred Valley. We practiced yoga, meditation, cooked and shared meals and enjoyed the beautiful nature.

Here a man walks behind two oxen plowing a field in preparation to plant seeds. Incredible that the locals use this technique instead of what we see normally, tractors and heavy equipment.
