Lima Peru

Fellow Rotarian Ian Montgomery spoke to us today on the beauty of Lima Peru.  He was a missionary there for 4 years and has extensive knowledge of the country and the people there.  From floating islands to active volcanos to the lovely people, Ian walked us quickly through a travel log of this beautiful country.  Although rich in sights, the majority of the people live in poverty and water is the most precious commodity and is often protected by barbed wire.  The Sunrise Rotary Club of Lima Peru really makes a difference in the daily lives of these people with their water filter distribution.  

Total estimated cost for a the full week trip to Lima for a Chester club member as of today, to go in March 2014 is $1650 double occupancy.  This would be using modest hotels, flying coach and eating in modest restaurants. Ian is trying to keep the cost down to make it available to anyone who wants to go.
