Life Members Travel to Peru

Donna Falconnier and Carol Schlitt recently returned from a fabulous trip to Peru.  They visited Lima, Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titicata and flew over the Nazca lines. 

The picture was taken on the famous Uros Islands which are completely made of reeds and are continually added to as they disintegrate to the bottom of the lake.  The Indians that live on these “floating islands” wear layers of clothing, mostly woolen, to protect themselves from the cold, the wind, and the sun which at 3800 feet above sea level can burn fiercely.

Carol and Donna are wearing the distinctive derby type hats and full skirts that most of the women on the island still wear.

Sure looks like they had fun!
