After 32 years of marriage, Jeannie and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary (planning takes time!) with a trip to the Galapagos Island in Ecuador. After the islands, Jeannie will head to the USA and I will extend my stay for a hike to Machu Picchu in Peru.

Last post of a great adventure.
I did not know if I'd enjoy Equator or Peru, but I can say I came away with such an appreciation for what these two counties are doing to preserve their heritage and nature beauty. Although the cities and towns all seem to be crumbling around you, somehow it all works. My sense is that people here are willing to share what little they have and the result is a culture based on community and not selfless accumulation of goods and wealth. In the rural areas their day to day life is simple and harmonious with nature. This three week adventure has opened my eyes to South America. My goal is to now learn Espanol and return to South America to export in more depth the people, history and natural wonders. Any takers???!
