Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
I’m going to wrap up Iquitos with a short post – I don’t have a huge number of photos to share from the last day because I forgot to charge the camera battery and it ran out early on in the day, but in the end, it was a day that we spent relaxing after… Read More Last Day on the Amazon
Into every tour must come a cloud or two, in addition to all the bright sunshine, and in Iquitos, with the regular rains, they do come. So one of the things we’d specified in arranging the tour was that if we were going to visit one of the indigenous villages, we weren’t interested in a… Read More The Yawn Factor
Very limited internet access the last few days, but we’re headed to Trujillo today, so things should get back to relatively normal – and since it’s just hanging out with Henry’s family, we’re likely not doing a lot of interesting travel stuff. It’ll give me time to sort through the rest of the photos and… Read More Jungle Walk

And oh what a stalwart craft she is. And her captain is a pretty young thing as well. Typical of the… Read More A Tale of Three Rivers; with Butterflies
Henry and I have been wanting to spend a little time exploring some of the Amazon basin for a couple of years now and we’re finally here. We decided against one of the long boat tours, partially because of the group tour motif and partly because we both like a sort of set place to… Read More Welcome to the Amazon
Greetings from Iquitos, Peru, out in the Amazon basin, where we will have limited internet access for the next week. It may seem like all our days are dedicated to food, and it certainly plays a big part, but we do a lot of other stuff too. For our last day in Lima, however, it… Read More Food Day
Oh do I wish I had an expense account for days like yesterday. Then again, I work for myself so it would end up the same I suppose. We spent the morning out clothes shopping with Henry – it’s his number one passion after dance, so he ended up with several new pairs of shoes,… Read More Expense Account Day
