To Market
I love a good market – and this is a good one. Adam and I set out early this morning to buy some produce. Huancaro market is in our neighborhood and takes place every Saturday. Farmers come in from the mountains to sell their produce, livestock, and other goods to city dwellers and shop owners. […]
Falling
I could feel my heart thumping in my chest as I stood on the edge of the precipice looking down 500 feet. The narrow paths in the high Andes Mountains connect one incredible ruin to another with shear drop offs and no railings. This is where the Incas built their homes, forts and temples, and […]
Cleaning Fish
Sliding a knife down the back of a fish, guts slopping on the cutting board, carving off chunks of meat … Cleaning fish is what you have to do after having a great day out on the water. A “go day” as my grandfather used to refer to those magical days soaking in the sun […]
Bienvenidos a Peru
Imagine you are in an airplane. You look down to see the majestic mountains of Peru. You hear the sound of the plane landing on the runway. You bounce up and down as the plane slows to a stop. Walking off the plane, out of the airport, and into what seems like a dream. That […]

Paradise
Imagine 85 degree weather. The sunshine is bright, and your skin is tan. You’re laying under the Florida Sun. You take a sip of your Coca-Cola, and behind your favorite shades, you smile. The palm trees sway. You dangle your feet over the edge of the canal, right next to your perfect house in the […]
Five, Four, Three, Two
Countdown to departure. We fly to Peru on April 9th. Our month in the states has been busy and rewarding – and we sure needed the extra time to finish preparing to be out of the country for nine months. Our travel to Maryland, Washington DC, New York and Florida has given us good practice […]
Good Cause #1 World Vision Water Project
Last weekend I had the opportunity to be part of something good. Nearly 5,000 runners participated in the 13.1 NYC Half Marathon that raised $250,000 to provide clean water for families in Africa through a World Vision project. Because of the support of many friends and family, my part was raising enough money for 22 […]
