Peru number 2

 View of one of the Quarries by La Oroya Peru
 Lunch with the locals- meat from the ground- and other local treats
 If you look close at the pork the skin and some of the hair are still attached- I'm sure it was washed well before being put in the ground
 How a bunch of the towns are in that region- one street with mountains on both sides.
 One of the views- almost as pretty as the Rockies- but then again I'm biased.
 Stopping for a photo Op
 Another Panorama
 The group on the last day at 15,000 feet altitude
 One of the scenic testing sites
 Down the mountain we go- it'd be pretty fun on a bike until someone ran you off the road.
 Under the train bridge.
 A Toyota Hilux- 3L diesel- something you won't see in the US
 Back at home playing in the mulch.
 A couple of little gardeners- right?

The latest tool- a little 3D printer- so far so good.

Easter in Chicago

Chicago primary easter egg hunt- Bryn makes a good rabbit- Thayne not so much
A not so creepy easter bunny- at the local park
Trying to get Thayne off of his tractor was something else- he even found a trailer to pull behind.

We also got to celebrate Uncle Amos' birthday- it took work to keep Thayne from blowing out his candles

Out on the pier with Uncle Amos while the Ladies were back making lunch, Bryn was pretending to be shy.
Another easter egg hunt at the Gillespie's, Bryn was good at helping Thayne, Wyatt, and ___ (Levi and Shannon's kids

Success- baskets full of eggs
