Pollution is a major issue on this trip in a number of areas. I hope the government of Peru starts paying attention |

Final thoughts ... I hope there is a special place in hell for those thieves at Yale's Peabody Museum that, under the guise of being researchers, looted the treasures of Machu Picchu, took them back to the U.S., and are charging admission to see them. |
