I so enjoy your blogs
Hi Heather. I have been following your blogs for a while now. This one has been a great pleasure. We have been lucky, so far, in Australia with few deaths and not many infections because we started physical distancing long before most other countries. (It probably helps that we are also a long way away from most other countries!)

COVID-19 Quarantine Week 4 and 5
I read your blog for week 4 but unfortunately I was too lazy to respond. I just finished week 5 and I am actually responding. Yahoo. I am so glad you are feeling better. But I do not like the idea of you possibly getting arrested for going out of your home. That is really scary. Thank goodness it has not gotten that bad in the United States. There are people out all over the place here in Boise. I don't know, maybe Boisians are stupid. I haven't figured that one out yet. I have been in my apartment for four weeks now. I am really surprised at myself. Normally, I do not go anywhere anyway. But knowing that I shouldn't go out, makes me want to go out even more. President Trump and his advisors are saying that the quarantine may be lifted across the nation on May 1st. But he also said that he is going to leave it up to each individual states Governor. I haven't heard yet about ours. I personally thing that it may be to soon. But I guess we will have to wait to see how it goes. I will continue to be cautious. After all I do have a heart condition. So I am in that category of people susceptible to this virus. You take care also my friend. You have a glorious day and I look forward to your next blog. Love you always, Doreen

Just read your blog
Hi Heather, What an adventure you are having. I see Laura, David and Sarah so we have spoken fondly of you. Have you heard of Victor Frankel’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning? If you are interested I would be glad to copy it a few pages at a time for you to read. It is a short but profound book about his experiences in Nazi Germany in a concentration camp. He early on began watching what kind of people did well and what kind of people did poorly and from that developed his system called logotherapy. I think you might find it useful. I have been in contact with my family in the North. They have it a bit earlier because of having the property they can go out and work and the boys can play every day. Still it is very isolated. We are doing well at Offut Lake. A great place to be quarentined. Pete and I have been doing a lot of cooking for the homeless. They are really having a tough time with so many service organizations shutting down. It has been very heartwarming. Know that we are all thinking of you. Sending big hugs. Diane

Coronavirus Quarantine
Hello my friend. I am still adhering to my self induced quarantine. It does not bother me too much. I don't go out very often anyway. I am so glad that the reports of the virus in Peru are low. I just read an article on the internet that there is a possible vaccine for the virus ready for testing. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Hang in there and I will do the same.

Hiking poles
Heather, Love your blog. Sounds to me like you would really like using 2 hiking poles especially for walking downhill. I also used to wear neoprene "sleeves" which reduced my knee pain. I did have 2 very successful knee replacements 3 years ago! Enjoy your travels!!

Follow that Road
...to the end of the Earth. What a great destination. No better reason for me to post this in our "Follow that Road" thread in the Photography Forum. Check it out.

Awesome! And Soltice Too.
Thanks for all the scoop and reflections and details, Heather. The fox reminds me of the Arabian fox (size wise and color). And the End of the World sign is great. The long solstice must have been so crazy. SR

Wowee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful place. No wonder you go back there all of the time. I would too. Thanks for sharing your adventures with me.

Return to Peru
Wonderfully informative blog of the Cusco to Sacred Valley to the travail of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu...makes me want to return as well. Great photos of your highlights but I wanted to see more! How lucky were your students to have you to take them there. It is exciting to see the ingenuity of the Incas in so many places and sobering to see how the Spaniards built over some sites to impose their religion on the locals. How wonderful that Machu Picchu remained undiscovered by the conquistadors and has been preserved for you and I.

Looks amazing!
I love reading about your travels, Heather. Looks fantastic and I can't wait to pick your brain. Mohamed and I may go to Peru next spring!
