12 Days Left In Peru - Pictures Of Some Of Our Favorite People and Places

We gave up our Peruvian identification today and completed our paper work to depart the country on June 27th. The Peruvian Immigration office is only a few block from the National Archives, so we stopped by and said good-by to all our friends.  These people were all familiar faces of street vendors and Archive employees. It was interesting to see that my paid replacement in the Archives had not broken my one week work record of 15,232 images.  The pictures below are of people we know and friends we have made while working as Record Preservation Missionaries in down town Lima. We will miss them.  We also made a side trip to Gamara on the way back.  

David knows I got on his case for the lack of planning during our Cuzco assignment, but he was very gracious about thanking us for our work during the past 15 months.  He will be in Salt Lake in September or November.  

This shoe shine guy now sports a New Lima City Jacket. I suspect this is a new City ordnance and he had  to pay a city fee to work near the Palace of Justice.

                                      We ate at this small restaurant almost daily for eight months

                                  Mr. Revello will retire in December after 30 years in the Archives.
