Good morning gang,

Just a quick note, am in Peru in an area they call the Alps of Peru...spectacular part of the Andes with many peaks over 20,000. Lots of tourists down here this time of year...all hiking and climbing. Check you atlas and look for Huaraz, north of Lima. The highest peak in Peru, Huascaran, 22,200 feet, and the second highest peak in the western hemisphere is right out my office window. Nice place to work.

A great day to all.
Off to Peru, and points beyond.

You are so trendy in your international adventure horsie. I would love to be one those backpacking touristy people there with my camera (for about 3 hours anyway). *L* Despite appearances, I have limited lung capacity, and don't enjoy the extreme heights. Mt Rainier at Paradise is too much for me for long, and it's just a baby mountain at 14,000+ feet.

When you are at a place where they have to haul in water, life is hard, but when you reach a place they have to haul in air, life is almost not worth living
