Over the coming weeks, the posts on this blog might take a turn for the exotic, as I’ll be posting stories and photos from the far reaches of Peru. On the agenda:
- Hunting for megalodon teeth with Desert Man of Ica, who was recently written up in the New York Times. (Fortunately, we made our reservation before he became famous!)
- Shooting video in some remote (as in no electricity and little Spanish spoken) Quechua villages above Ayacucho for Fundación Comunidad.
- Meeting with Minka Fair Trade to see what interesting and marketable fair-trade products Peru might have to offer.
- Above all, showing my 10-year-old son, Sam, why the ancestral lands keep calling me back.
To that last point, below are a few glimpses of Peru’s many landcapes. For a really nice slideshow, I recommend searching on “Peru landscape” at Compfight, a great tool for searching on Flickr.
