PERU LIMERICK

There was a Guinea Pig from Peru
who didn’t know just quite what to do.
He’d heard there were places
-- oh, so magical places –
where his kind lived as pets not as food.

PROMPT: Plane Tickets

Daily writing prompt
If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

I’m going to say Argentina, based on it being an expensive air ticket (from India,) but an inexpensive (and beautiful) place to stay. Might as well get max bang for buck.

DAILY PHOTO: Cylindrical Houses in Peru

Taken about a decade ago in the Peruvian Andes

These are restorations of the stone portions of a cylindrical houses. These would have been topped with a conical thatched roof, though less is known about the details (e.g. pitch) of such roofs because the thatching (obviously) didn’t survive as well as the stone bases. These were located at an archeological site on the road between Cuzco and Puno.
