Embroidery Day 3

Another hard day embroidering in the sunshine! Our pieces are coming along very well and will be completed tomorrow!
Sitting outdoors all day doing needle work is wonderful, but I'm a little tired tonight so it will be an early night.
I've gotten a little sunburn, I'm sure all of you at home love hearing that since it sounds like spring is hiding out this week.
Today our guides have arranged for our purchases to be sent to our hotel in Lima so we don't need to bring everything with us on the next leg of our trip. So our yarns and Peale cotton threads are packed up and ready for delivery. That's 7.8 kg of stuff...don't worry Derek, that includes Anne's.
I discovered my new favourite fruit growing here at the Casa, the Lucuma. The Lucuma fruit is known as 'the last gold of the Inca's'. It has unique flavour of maple syrup and sweet potato. I've tried it as ice cream and in a 'soup' with hot chocolate truffles and in a meringue dessert, it's delicious!
