Where we are:South America--the land where everything is the oldest, highest, longest, deepest, strangest, or somethingest in the world. I just left Cusco, Peru, a charming city of red-tiled roofs tucked between rolling green hills. It is the OLDEST continuously inhabited city on the planet, and its streets are still lined with Inca built walls. (Translation for American travelers: Inca built walls = no heat.) Tourists world wide are drawn here seeking the spiritual energy of Machu Picchu.

Hello, Greetings from Lima, the city where everything is legal from gambling to coca leaves. And people wonder why there is is drug problem in South America. You may want to consider banning the plant that makes the drugs...just a random thought. Yesterday I stayed with a family in central Lima. For a $1.50 I got a room for a night, and two meals. I watched the sun met into a crimson sky, over a mess or bricks and rubble, I feel guilty calling homes.

We just visited some local islands off of the Peruvian coast called Paracas, or to the locals 'The Galapagos Islands for the Poor'. There was a myriad of strange and wonderful sealife, my favorite... the Peruvian Penguins. We were not able to swim because jellyfish littered the water like lillypads in a lagoon.

I am in Peru. I am staying with a wonderful family whose child stares at me all day long. Whenever she cries they bring her in to look at me and she seems mesmerized. She has never seen anyone blonde before. Her wide eyes are either saying she likes me a lot, or she is very scared of me. The worst thing that has happened so far is a minor explosion of my body lotion in my suitcase. So all of my toiletries are very very moist and supple.
