El ultimo dia

First, a slight addendum to Beau's original entry about the jungle. As much as we were consumed by the experience of being 2 feet from a boaconstrictor in the wild, we also saw many other animals. These included many species of birds. We both decided that my mom, Bill, and Giggles would never have survived the trip, as there were unusual birds to be seen at every turn. We tried our best to get pictures, so there will be lots to share when we return. We also saw several species of monkeys. The best part was hearing the eerie sound of the Red Howler Monkey calling from 1 km away at five in the morning. Ah, the jungle, you never know what will happen.
Alas, today is our last day in Peru. Tomorrow we leave in the morning to fly to Lima and then to San Francisco. We will be there through the weekend, enjoying Beau's brother's wedding, a most excellent way to end our trip. As much as we are looking forward to coming home, we are going to miss Peru and the unique experience of traveling in a developing country. We have spent our last days in Cusco viewing ruins and churches and learning more of the extensive history of this part of the world. Peru has been a wonderful experience for us. We we want to thank everyone who gave us their support in the this trip. We will have many more stories to share when we return. Looking forward to seeing you all!
Love,
Deedra and Beau
