Maureen and Bruce Peru Itinerary

Here is Maureen and Bruce's itinerary. For mom and dad--the red type just shows the date. Don't bother clicking on it. The blue type means its a link. If you click on it, it will take you to a web page about that topic. When you are done reading the web page, use your back button to return to the blog. Then you can click on the next link when you get to it.

Also, some of the websites have small type. If you go up to your menu where it says "view" and let the menu drop down, you should get a choice that says "make text bigger" That might be a little too ambitious--but see if it works. 

If you have trouble, get Shannon to come up and show you. It's easy once you see it.

I have only attached links to about half of the itinerary. I'll do the rest tomorrow. 

I am looking for a world clock link that will show us what time it is in Peru--if anyone knows an easy one, forward me the address so i can link it in here.

Some links are better than others, but keep at it. The prettiest one so far, i think, is the Rupa Wasi link on 1o/7.

Enjoy.

Be DIM or be in Peru!

see what time it is in Lima!

(thank you Michael!)
