Vincent's Room

Vincent is quickly getting used to his new room.

Throwing Cheetah

Vincent finds it is fun to play catch with Cheetah and Monkey.

View of the Park

This is the view from Vincent's bedroom. It is spring in Lima so all the trees do not yet have leaves.

The Big Move

The family is off to Peru to become expats while Dad is working on the mine project. No telling how long it will be but we will make the best of it. Here is Vincent keeping himself entertained during the 9h flight from Toronto. Vincent is a seasoned traveller now so he took it all in stride.

Last View of the Acura

The Integra rusted out no doubt due to it's life in Quebec. The last view before the scrap yard.

Mudslide

The source of the mudslide.

The road is completely blocked by mud and rocks.

Traffic starts to move again.

Where did that ditch come from?

My trip to the mine was delayed by a mudslide in the desert. It was caused by someone's irrigation channel not being constructed properly. Well this tied up traffic for a while. This post and the following show the clean up as it happened. Who would think a delay like this could be entertaining. After finally making a path a couple of vehicles managed to squeeze through but one unlucky driver miscalulated and got stuck in the ditch.

Mudslide II

Why don't we move the rock!

Next step pull the truck out of the ditch.

Moving again the foreman is happy with a job well done.
After some inovative thinking by those who were waiting everyone is on the move again. It's a good thing the transports have a cable under the trailer for these types of situations.

Watching the Falls

Vincent found an unoccupied perch to view the water above the horsehoe falls. After camping we made a last minute decison to make our what has become an annual visit to the falls.

Watching the Rainbow

Vincent examines the rainbow from his lookout above the horseshoe falls.

Watching the Falls II

Vincent and Mom peer at the water cascading over the horseshoe falls.

A Visit with Tesla

Vincent visits and learns about the work of Nicola Tesla the inventor of the electric induction motor and designer of the generators for the world's first hydroelectric plant. Vincent was thrilled by the explanation of electromagnetism as he is facinated by electricity and magnetism and particularly light.

Horseshoe Falls

Here are the horseshoe falls. Lots of tourists this day to view the falls. A trip on the maid of the mist will have to wait until next time.

The American Falls
