DOHERTY BY SEA



Thursday, May 24, 2012





Happiness is part of the journey,
not some distant destination.

Hi Everyone ,

Today is our third day at Sea. Not too much to report besides Traci’s first cousin TD and his wife Z had a baby girl last night . Both are doing great.

We will be waking up in the port of  Callao , Peru  tomorrow AM.  Exciting stuff.

Many people will be heading to the third highest mountain in the world ,  Machu Picchu in Cuzco , Peru.  The highest mountain is in Tibet, the second highest is in Bolivia.

Today the professor for Global studies will come to give a presentation to kids on Peru. He is amazing so today will be a fact finding day to set some sort of itinerary. Traci is on call while we are here so we won’t be able to travel more than an hour from the ship. It will be just fine , there will be so much new to see and do.

We all made a pact that there will be no eating of Guinea Pigs. On the other hand Iguana are fair game. I will be having one on a stick before we depart… yum

  1. Hi John, That's exciting news for TD & Z. They must be thrilled with their baby girl. Your pictures are great especially the sun (rise or set?). It sounds like Callao will have lots to offer you guys. Good luck eating Iguana (I could not bring myself to try it and I can eat most anything.) Have a great adventure and I can't wait to hear more from you! Love, Lisa Pizza

  2. You know, the cuy isn't actually that bad. We also tried alpaca while we were in Cuzco. Really, though, my favorite dish there was ceviche.
