I got it repaired today!

K and I have enjoyed binge watching House of Cards on Netflix. Wish I could say it made me feel better about our government!
Spent time this afternoon contacting all my lodging and transportation situations in Peru. Everything looks good! Still have to hear from one more person.
The crows are enjoying my picture!

Had fun watching House of Cards with K this evening.
Admin duties now.
Worked on confirming all my details for my Peru trip starting a week from today! WOW! Emailed all my lodging (Lima, El Triunfo–near the Amazon, Iquito, Cusco and Ollantaytambo. I also checked on getting my tickets for the train to Machu Pichu and with my travel agent to make sure that my in country airline tickets are good to go when I get there. I reserved most of these things in July!
I thought these geese were funny walking down the street.

I’ve added a picture to my feeding station. I’ve read that crows can recognize faces. I’m doing a test to see how they react to the picture and to me once I’ve fed them regularly.

Crows are the smartest birds by far. Their brain/body mass ratio is closest to monkeys.
Why would this lady have her top down and still wear that huge hat?
