114 TREKKING IN PERU

Maddie, now a 23-year-old student at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Madison veterinary
medicine school, and I began our adventure this
August by flying into Cusco, which was the capi-
tal of the vast Inca Empire from the 13th Century
until the Spanish conquest in the 16th Century.

124 IN MY ANCESTOR’S FOOTSTEPS
My niece, Janie, and I stood disconsolately on the
platform of the train station at Châlons-en-
Champagne, my mother's birthplace. We had fi-
nally reached Alsace Lorraine, now called Le
Grand Est, a 2:30 hour train ride from Paris in
northeastern France.

140 CRUISING THE BRITISH ISLES
“Just get on the ship and go!” That has been my
recent philosophy for cruising. I love ship life no
matter what the itinerary. My husband Carl and
I have been on 33 cruises over the past 20 years-
-ranging from 8 to 27 nights. For me, the longer,
the better! Especially sea days!
