Peru like many Latin American countries has a reputation of thievery. Listen to your wife and others who recommend that you take a pocket sized good quality "bridge camera".
Even baggage at the airport while still aboard the in-transit plane has been looted.
Don't dress and look like a "gringo tourist" with a big DSLR camera strapped around your neck, that makes you a prime target.
Ever body has cell phones with cameras that take good pictures, use yours and you will not be a "lit up target".
Also keep your passport in the pocket next to your heart.
Many visitors do not become victims--be one of them.
Great pictures of a grand hobby.
Wish that the photos had the airplane identity attached.
My Dad's collection of film negatives is priceless. He used a Graflex with a Zeiss Tessar lens, and a folding Zeiss Ikon with the Tessar lens.
He processed and printed his own film. The sharpness and quality were outstanding. He never owned a light meter yet had an eye for light and compostion.
He introduced me to photography but I have always been in too much of a hurry and cannot match is outstanding results.
I have not yet mastered the steady holding of a skinny cell-phone, my hands are xL size.
Any tips
My beloved Golden Retriever, Penney, was with us for 17 years.
Still dream about her. My niece painted a portrait of her which hangs in my den; I get to see her everyday.

Just make sure that you go to find out, and have a blessed reunion.
How did you hold the iPhone so steady for long exposure?

Oversimplification is easy and generally provides the wrong answers.
I was on the board of a medical device company developing a "breathing/G suit system" for emergency heart attack victims. It was a computerized breathing and auxiliary blood flow system through the use of the G-suit.
We worked with some Russian scientists who had the G-suit knowledge.
Initial testing was done in Russia where there no lawyers involved. It was tested on patients who were officially fatally ill with little hope of survival.
When we began the USA 'FDA approval process' it nearly bankrupted the startup business with great delay in bringing it to market. The bureaucracy was incredible.
The concept system worked well and was ultimately approved for EMT use.
Is the FDA system superior to those in other countries? Yes and No.
It needs more streamlined with equivalent protection to the patient, but with less delay and bureaucratic entanglement.
All of those costs must be recovered in the market place.
The UK has a worthwhile law that holds the litigant (suing individual) responsible for legal costs in the advent the litigant loses. This diminishes frivolous lawsuits. Barristers (lawyers) do not advirtise on TV in the UK.
Lawyers fees are one of the exorbitant costs in our system. Just ask your Doctor about legal insurance fees.
Yes there is some greed in many facets of business, but real costs need to be recovered.
Try Venezuela for "ideal socialism". No medicine or food available.
Canada does not have the research and development costs as USA Big Pharma in the creation of new drugs.
Homeopathic treatment work on non critical illness, but do not cure the more deadly mutating diseases.
Remember the iron lung? Then Jonas Salk developed the v*****e.

"Wow and I thought the built in selenium meter on my first SLR (Praktica LB2) was behind the times...this looks like something out of a 50s sci-fi movie.... "
Just wait until 2025 and someone will comment about your current most modern gadgets as a 2019 Sci Fi movie
"Veterans Day" is on November 11 each year. It was originally "Armistice Day," the end of WW1
Cease fire was declared on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, hence Nov 11 was declared a holiday. It latter became "Veterans Day" to encompass all wars.
Ask young people about "Armistice Day," most are completely unknowing as are many adults.
We suffer from ignorance of history and repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
your nose looks like a sausage!
I have Swarovski & Nikon
Swarovski are top of the class but very expensive.
Nikon and Bushnell are more affordable and good quality.
Do not get high power 10x + as they are more difficult to hold steady.
I would suggest 8x with large objective lens for better light gathering at dawn and dusk.
There are some nice porro and roof prism models available.
Look at Leupold also
