Examples of my name in Peru

It is crazy how often I see my name (in some form or other) on store signs. I will share a few of them here.
 This botica (pharmacy) is in the main plaza of Urubamba, my hometown. Saint Hilarion was a hermit who lived in the desert of Palestine.
 Ilaria isa very nice jewelry store in Cusco. Ilaria is the Spanish form of my name.
 This is a small museum in the San Blas neighborhood of Cusco.
Yllari, or Illary, is the Quechua word for 'rainbow.' This pharmacy was in Cusco.

This is my last weekend with the last of my friends here. Kristina leaves on Monday, and I will be all alone for two weeks. I am sad to see them go, but I will get a lot of reading and napping done!
