      First port was great! You should be able to read about it here - https://cjpj2020.blogspot.com/2024/12/dec-4-puerto-vallarta.html?m=1

Weaving Visit We went to a couple of lama/alpaca weaving spots . At one, they went into great detail on how they clean the fiber (it is a fiber, not wool), how they wash it, dye it (the natural items used for dying the fibre) what the use to modify the colors (salt, lime).

Memorable quote when arriving ar our Hotel in Lima "have you ever stayed in a 5 star hotel?". The Kazakhstans - This was a father and son duo who spoke no English. Everyone communicated with them using Google translate.  The guides would record important information and play it back in Russian for them. The father had won a gold medal for weightlifting and had a family business making sausage in Kazakhstan.  They appeared to travel alot and have an Alaskan cruise out of Vancouver booked. I recommended they check out doing the Rocky Mountainer train through the Rockies. Memorable  quote "Da" David and Camilla - this ...
