The final experience I want to look back on from our trip to Peru was the night we spent on the island Amantani with a local family on Lake Titicaca. We ventured out with a tour group of fit European couples in their 30s on a motorboat early in the morning. After a day of … Continue reading
“Ralph, come back in here!” my Nonna yelled into the kitchen. “We’ll stop talking about this, just come back in here.” My dad stayed put.

Disney is anything but penniless, as a matter of fact they just raised their prices of entry into the parks.
