One thing I didn’t realize before we arrived here is that Peru is the “slug bug” capital of the world. Cusco and the surrounding towns are literally crawling with 70’s-era Volkswagen Beetles.

For a while, we couldn’t walk down the streets of Cusco without me getting pummeled in the arms.

I finally convinced the kids to change the game to “hug bug”.

It still got old after awhile…

Yeah, I’d have green & purple arms if we were all playing the Slug Bug game. Makes me miss my old convertible bug from back in the HS days.
