Excelllent blog!
Researching Ayacucho and central Peru, where I'll be heading next year, I discovered your blogs. What a great combination of historical context, personal adventures and fine photos. I'm going to nominate you for Blogger of the Week, so I do hope you continue to blog. Incidentally, I'm in Arequipa, so if you head down this way, I'd love to meet up with you. I really enjoy your writing--good show!
