Subject: Punky & Lew still in Peru
Achi and I plan to get married on Friday, July 5. We also have planned a wedding reception for that evening at the bar/restaurant, where the spark occurred that lit my fire and started this whole crazy love affair, in the Hostal El Prado owned by Achi's father. I hope you, Ricardo, can be here as best man and Luis is invited. We plan to ride to La Paz, Bolivia July 16 for 2 weeks and return to Lima. We are gathering the required documents and getting medical exams, blood tests etc., then will submit them and the application to marry in a civil ceremony. We are also preparing to apply for Achi's U.S. immigration visa at the U.S. Embassy here in Lima. Limeņas seem to be a very popular choice to marry. Yesterday, at the post office, I thought it a strange coincidence that I met 2 other American men who are marrying Limeņas as well. Then, at the U.S. Embassy, I met 4 more. I can't wait to see Achi all dolled up for the wedding. She is going to look fantastic. I will have to rent a tux and buy dress shoes. Mark, I had the first opportunity to give back some hospitality to other touring riders. Chris and Stuart, American DR650 riders, visited with us for about 4 days. We took a ride together south of Lima and met another motorcyclist, who turned out to be the Peru's Minister of Economics and Finance. He gave me his card and said to call him if I had any problem in Peru. I did and he fixed it. My temporary import permit, from customs, for the bike expired and I wasn't ready to exit the country, which is the usual requirement. We still plan to continue touring the rest of South America in October. I got Achi a new helmet and summer gloves. She is still going to need a riding suit, winter gloves, rain gear and boots. Having trouble finding some of the stuff here. I may have to order it through the Internet. The wedding and riding gear expenses are getting hard to handle, but I'll do it somehow. Critter is ready for Mobil 1 oil now after the break-in period. The 145 carb mainjet I had put in at Arequipa, Peru, worked fine at both high and low altitude. We'll see how well it works at even higher altitude going to La Paz. We are all very happy and well in Lima. Hope the same for you guys. Later.
Punky & Lew & Achi Too
