Just over a month ago I returned from a three-week stay in Peru—wonderful days in my second homeland. It was a daily exchange of fond time with family and good old friends. The way it only works with those dear to you. I think back, and my heart is full. I can’t be more grateful for having such a wonderful family and amazing friends! […]
