Goodbye to Donna and Trevor.

Yesterday we met up with Donna and Trevor for the last time, they flew into Lima from La Paz for the day. We have had great fun together while they have been in Lima and I am sure that we will share many more good times when we all get together again back home in Mildura.
We shared a fantasic lunch with two Columban priests who are very good friends - Father Leo and Father John. As you can see by the ladies' plates they definitely enjoyed themselves. Marion chose chicharron mundo marino, a Peruvian fisherman's basket, and Donna chose Macchu Pichu which was virtually three plates in one, one of them being the typical Peruvian cebiche, uncooked white fish marinated in very acidic limes from this area. In fact the limes are so strong they virtually cook the fish!
As their final treat in Lima we took them to the Gold Museum and would you believe it but this museum holds one the largest private collections fire arms, uniforms and other military memorabillia. We all thought that we would never see Trevor again, he could not believe his luck. It was like letting a little boy loose in a toy shop! By the way that's Trevor in the background bargaining once again with someone at the front door of the museum!
