Thanks for mentioning me, Tony! And I am comforted by knowing that I´m not the only one baffled by that belief. Like Sam, I haven´t been introduced to some of these bloggers yet, looks like I have some catching up to do.

It is great to learn more about Peru. I like the photos especially White City. Thank you for sharing. I always thought of Peru an ideal vacation destination. I can’t wait to see wonderful the scenery and sites in person.
