Thank you so much for your comments and supportive words. Kris and I were in the Lima Airport at the time of the earthquake last night – and it was one of the scariest experiences I have had in my life. Scarier than the earthquake was the hour and half separation from Kris… but, we found each other finally, with the help of many along the way. I am so thankful to the wonderful people of Peru who helped us in so many ways throughout the whole ordeal.  My heart opens up to the families who have lost loved ones and who have suffered loss.

We just arrived home after hours and hours of travel from Lima, to Miami, and finally home to DC.

After a good rest, I will be ready to talk about it.

Thank you for the love, we truly felt it~

    I’m so glad you are OK. I was in a large earthquake in the San Francisco area and separated from my husband for a while, so I know how frightening it can be. I can’t imagine being in another country when something like that happened. I’m sorry that happened on your vacation. Take care.
