The next post from my daughter. ==== Ciudad Blanca Below is part three of the Andes series. Part two of the series is The Mountains. Looking back, I was very upset with people who considered the only “important” thing to be “progress” and would completely ignore history if possible. But to someone who has been […]
The Mountains – Part 02
Let’s continue with the posts by my daughter. ==== The Mountains Below is part two of the Andes series. Part one of this series is “The Call”. I hope you are enjoying. The video at the end is mostly for music. As it is quite long I recommend playing it while you read the below […]
The Mountains – Part 01
With my daughter’s permission, I reprint below the beginning of a series from her blog. I think you will like this series over the next couple of days as much as I have. It will give you an insight into the land where we lived for a decade and where our daughters spent a good […]
