So how long would you have to live in Peru? Somebody was telling me just last week about what a nice place Peru is to live.

If I go to Peru it would be for at least two years. Some people like Peru, most don't as a place to live. The younger, single crowd seem to think it's great while the older, married folks are not so impressed. There are a lot of things that are neat, but living in Lima, for us, would be a nightmare. The traffic is horrible and it is a dangerous city... lots of crime and an attitude that one shouldn't really be resisting things like kidnapping, burglary or muggings.

As a tourist destination, it is a great country to visit. Lots of culture, neat places to visit, great food and music and the people are mostly very nice.

My main problem is I don't want to leave the wife alone in the big city while I'm up in the sticks..I can do that here in Chile without much worry. I would be worried to distraction if she was alone in Lima. I never know what's going to happen with this job...one of the "benefits" of doing the kind of work that no one else wants to do.

From what I heard, Peru is very beautiful .. the problem seems to be more in the area of their politics and crime

That would be terribly hard for y'all to be separated for that long though. Best of luck to you.
