My weekend

I was exhausted after Manu, but managed to rest up on Friday night and was raring to go this weekend, which was really good. Yesterday I did laundry at the house, and then I made lunch with the mom, Isabel....

The Jungle

I spent five days in the jungle last week. Or more accurately, about 3 days in the jungle and 2 days driving there and back. The more upscale tours drive in and fly back, and now I understand why. It's...

Photo Hell

I just spent an hour or so trying to get this damn photo thing to work. Need to do some more brainstorming. In the meantime, I'm posting one lovely photo as a teaser--the jungle at sunrise this morning. Enjoy!...

What a novelty to be away from radio, TV, and internet for 5 whole days! Pretty remarkable. It's nice to be back, though. Just wanted to let you all know I had a great trip and am back safe and...

Sightseeing in Full Force

Today was a full day of hiking and wandering and bus-taking to get to the salt flats (terraced on a mountain) and to see Incan ruins at Chinchero that were pretty impressive (probably moreso because they were my first!). It...

Big Plans

Today, it's a week since I left San Francisco. Hard to believe. On the one hand, it doesn't seem like I've been gone very long, but somehow I also feel like I've been here for a while. This trip hasn't...
