April 17
The thoughts of a hot shower and sleeping in a warm house were
uppermost on our minds as we began the long journey back to Lima. The time spent in Vilca had been most
enjoyable, except for those two missing elements!
All began well as we drove, snapping photos of the beautiful
mountains and villages, until we were stopped by a track-hoe on a flat-deck
trailer trying to make its way around a corner. An hour later, when they
finally unloaded it, we were able to pass by.

The rest of the drive passed uneventfully with hours of
gravel, then single lane and finally two lanes with lots of speed bumps and switchbacks.
We stopped for supper, (or maybe lunch) at a beautiful garden retreat. The owner was a gardener of fruit trees and showed us around his lovely place.
By the time we were finished our meal, the sun had set, and we continued on the rest of the way which was mostly freeway now. Before long we were snarled in Lima traffic and were wishing to be back in Vilca again. Oh, wait. First a long hot shower.
