I arrived in Lima a couple of days ago. I have been staying in a neighborhood called Miraflores about 10 blocks from the ocean. This time of year there is a coastal fog called "garua" that blankets the area. It's basically a marine layer that doesn't burn off once the afternoon comes. Despite the lack of sunshine the ceviche and pisco sours are fantastic.
This afternoon I am headed up to the region of Lareto which is the North East corner of Peru. I fly to a place called Iquitos which is a small city that has the curious distinction of being a city that is not connected to the country by any roads. The only way in is by plane. The city sits on the Amazon River basin. In Iquitos it is possible to arrange for a stay at lodge in the rain forest and/or a boat down the Amazon. I hope to do both, arrange a quick meeting with Jeff Bezos and also find a good Shaman along the way. I don't think there is much in the way of internets up there so I will be back next week sometime.
Ciao

CLEEF! Do you remember our first night in Buenos Aires at Gilbraltar and that guy was wearing that jacket that looked exactly like a Puma zip-up but it said PERU and had a llama instead of a puma? GET ME ONE in blue or black, or darker hues of green if the first two colors don't exist, hell I will tack yellow onto the end of the line, and I will pay you back plus a travel and labor fee!! PLEASE OH PLEASE, this is my only chance to get this item! I know what you're thinking, it doesn't weigh much!!
Mrs. Thurber, tell your son to do this for me!!

Hi Nicole
Cleef - get her what she wants! I was in the olde port (Portland, Me) this morning and went to a yarn shop there and bought alpaca yarn from Uruguay for a hat for you Cleef.
Love
Just got your joke about Jeff Bezos!
haha
I don't get the Jeff Bezos joke. Can somebody explain it to me?
The CEO of Amazon.com
1 peru jacket, check.
I see peru jacket - but don't see yarn or alfahores. Doesn't blood count for anything anymore?
Also - where the heck are you? Anxiously waiting for an update to your blog.
oh der, I knew that somewhere in the side of my head.
WOW- I hope you are saying you found that jacket!!
