I´m in Huaraz waiting for Happy Hour to start after a four-day trek through the Cordillera Blanca, in the Peruvian Andes. It was a lot of fun and I saw some things I´ve never seen before--huge glacier-capped mountain peaks, huge flat valleys, and a bull attacking a guide going in the other direction. I´ll post a more detailed account of the last week or so tomorrow from Lima. I´m taking an 8-hour night bus from Huaraz to Lima, then I´m going to Cuzco on Saturday. More tomorrow.
Ben- I am continuing to enjoy your entires. I am currently near Ashland. Am a vacationing at Mrs Stecker's cottage on Lake Superior. We are boating to the Apostle Islands and having a wonderful time.
Chad has a job interview on Monday with Miller Brewery. I am hoping that things work out.
Best to you. Be safe and have a wonderful adventure.
Benny! Thank goodness you finally posted! The fam (esp. dad and grandma) were getting worried and checking this thing a bit obsessively. :) Dad has renamed himself 'the south america stalker'. I am glad you are doing well. We all love you and miss you back here!
