On Sunday March 14, 2011 on my way to La Oroya, Peru which is about 4 hours north and west of Lima (the capital), I crossed over the Continental Divide which sits at just under 16,000 feet. Can you feel the air getting thinner? It was quite cold up there, thus the jacket. A big temperature and alititude change from Lima, and even higher than Ayacucho, where I normally live. What a geographical fete!! This is my second time "crossing over," but my first time stopping. I also made the trip to La Oroya in November for the Day of the Child and to visit with the Cambialo kids for their presentations.
