March 2026: "The Georges in Peru"

Rhea hunting

Did you know that Peru has wild, ostrich-like birds?  They are called 'rheas' or 'suris' or 'ñandus'.  All kids in Peru have heard of the word "ñandu' because it is always the picture they put on ABC charts as it is about the only word that starts with an "Ñ".  Last year, for Mary Beth's birthday, I took her on a drive to try and see rheas.  We didn't have any luck (or 'providence' for those of us who don't believe in 'luck'!).  But we had a really good time and Mary Beth has been looking forward to trying to find them again this year.
