Weekends what are they?.

So many cruise lines change the carpet in the elevator with the current day of the week. Princess doesn’t! So we are finally really beginning to lose track of what day it is. Everyday seems like Saturday...except today was uhh...Thursday.

And now it is already Friday morning. This is our first of four sea days on the way out to Easter Island. I am going to use the extra quiet time to catch up on a few things from the past week.
More on Lima, Peru. Every time I travel I enjoy the opportunity to experience new cultures and people but it is always great to return home. Not only to my own most comfortable bed but also to the country that we live in. As this week has started the impeachment trial which we are getting continuous coverage of there has been much discussion of our political system. As I tend not to be super political I cannot help but feel our government officials are spending way too much time on this trial as opposed to running the country. BUT... the two days we spent in Lima gave me a whole new perspective of our basic two party system. The political signs lining the road on the trip from the pier were the first indication of the number of people running for office in Peru.  I found out there are approximately 700 offices to fill and over 13 parties vying for these offices. And the interesting point of the signs is that it appears you vote for a number not a name. The elections are to take place on January 26, and hopefully the medians of the roads will once again be sign free. Here are just a few of the billboards from a short part of our drive.
