Can´t believe how fast the time has gone. I´m almost back where I started, just two flights away from the grand old USA. Last few days have been pretty mellow, kicking it countryside style. Even saw a tarantula on the curtain of my bedroom window!. ... Read more >

Been schleping through rural Peru for a few days, but came across an Internet cafe on the plaza of Urubamba, population 2,000. Had to wrestle the use of a the computer from some eight-year old online video game addicts, but here I am... Anyway, tiny ... Read more >

After spending the night asleep (sort of) in the airport in Lima, I flew this morning to Arequipa, a one hour flight south. Amazing to fly over some gigantic canyons! Jeanne picked me up at the airport, which had an outside observation deck. On one ... Read more >

Made it to Lima, the capitol. I´m at the airport writing this update. The airport is really like any other: McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, etc. I did spy some interesting wool pieces, of course. And other neat handicrafts abound. I saw some interesting junk ... Read more >

For the longest time, i've wanted to keep a travel log.
I kept a bit of a journal in Spain, did a little writing in Argentina, even wrote things for which I actually got paid on some of my trips to Mexico.
