Description
I LOVE all the different elements in this picture of a palm tree in Peru. It's summer time, yet there is the beautiful snow covered mountain providing the background. The red in the leaves of the palm is complemented by the red roofs and the blooming red bush on the right. My eye just goes in a circle around and around in this picture.
Several years ago, our local church supported a young man as a missionary in Peru. He invited our church to travel to Peru to help him one summer, and a few of us spent a week or so in Lima and surrounding areas. We were able to work at Catholic School where we built and stocked a library for them with Spanish language books. (We all took one extra suitcase full of books, and if memory serves there were about 1200 or so.) We also built an awning over their outdoor recess area, restored multiple sports facilities, worked in local neighborhoods, etc.
At the conclusion of the week, some of us traveled to Cusco, and Machu Picchu. What a fascinating story of the Peruvian history!
