Peru turned out to be a spiritual trip for us!  Starting in Lima, we were fortunate enough to sightsee with locals (family of close friends), which immediately makes any trip extra special.  I've visited countless churches throughout my travels but my experience with Lima’s were memorable.  The history, the faith, the catacombs… it was extraordinary.  You also have the ocean and the most amazing fresh seafood specifically in the Miraflores area.  We went on to visit Sacred Valley before heading to Machu Picchu and concluded our trip in Cusco.  The itinerary was specifically planned this way to allow us to get acclimated to the altitude.  I guess it worked because we never felt sick.  We also drank plenty of Coca tea which is supposed to help as well.  Every time I look at these photos they truly touch my heart and bring me right back there.
