Hunting in the jungle
The Rotaract club of Iquitos gave me this instrument which is used for hunting in the jungle.
Let the games begin!
This picture was taken after the Rotaractor next to me smashed a pie of shaving cream in my face, because he beat me to the answer for a question.
Guayava
A delicious fruit that grows in Peru!
Market in Paeta
This is just an example of one of the many popular market places in every city where you can find anything and everything you need for cheaper prices and better tasting fruits and vegetables.
Bright colors in Lima, church in Barranco
I love all the bright colors of the churches, houses and old colonial buildings in Lima.
The beach in Barranco, Lima
There is a lot of pollution, and if you look closely there are taxis and several other cars parked right on the shore.

Typical Peruvian dish
Carapulca with Chicha Morada: chicken in a delicious sauce (not entirely sure what the sauce is) and a drink made from purple corn, cinnamon, sugar and more, served with rice and yucca
Picarones
I was told they are the Peruvian donut, and boy are they delicious!
Peruvian donuts, Mmmm!
Bus ride in Lima
I wanted you to be able to ride along with me on the bus. The man standing in the background, wearing red, is selling something and in about 10 minutes a lot more people will fill the isle.
Museo De Los Niños
These are typical clothing from children living in the Andes
Cocoa bags
These are used in the Andes to carry cocoa leaves, which are part of the diet and are also used for exchange in greeting others.

This is a beautiful view from the Plaza de Armas, and if you were to climb to the top of the hill you would find a famous Inca ruin site.
