While we were in New York. Aside from seeing so many great buildings and being able to experience 'the city' first hand we also had the opportunity to meet the Peruvian Ambassador to the United Nations-Gonzalo Gutiérrez Reinel. Ambassador Reinel was an awesome person to talk to, and he was a very gracious host while we met with him. We discussed a wide range of topics including art, architecture, and our travels. I'm including a photo. After we met him at his office he invited us to see his house, which was once owned by Gloria Vanderbilt. It was perfectly preserved, and the experience was truly undescribable. We also got to view a great deal of the Ambassadors private art collection from Peru, which was very eclectic.It included paintings and sculptures that were all native to Peru. Some were extremely old artifacts. Needless to say it was a once in a life time experience, and I thank my friend Sergio for making it happen.
