Hey Sterling,
Sounds to be just what the doctor ordered ... and, of course, you're invited
to one, too!
Meet you downstream on the flats of Poopó, and we can plan our incursion
from there... I think I'll have a Ceviche Pisco Sour with fish and salt from
the lake for that authentic flavor. Cuy for lunch. (Cuy is prohibitively
expensive for locals as I can recall from my last trip.) The wretched
poverty others'interests have left the Aymara stuck in, is a lousy
situation, when, despite their talents, they can't even afford a
flush-toilet, let alone their favorite of Cuy. No problem to chew the local
stuff, too, if we need to break an ethereal altitude hangover? ...
¡ Salud ! (Cheers!) ;-)
Doug

Hola, Doug,
Ai! I forgot the most important part --- The Piscos!!
Does this mean I owe you a Pisco Sour?

Hi David, Bob and Jan, List,
David - There has been a cold war going on down there to define who has
rights to market alcoholic drinks called "Pisco" (If you don't think this
is
important - very seriously-, think again!!!), and the fight for control
portions of the sea between Peru and Chile is still ablating. It isn't
the
village that is of interest. It is the fight for land and sea, and
national
pride. The land of the Desaguadero River where the fall is, is near the
outlet to the ocean that Chile appropriated in war victory against
Bolivia/Peru and I suspect that unofficial military activities are common
in
that zone, as well as a state of alert on both sides, and also that there
is
an underlying fear from this. As outsiders from this conflict, the best
we
can imagine...
Jan - As you say (most of us including you could) think before we post,
too,
though I don't object to your post either. The very few prior comments
you
have made seem very educated, so I really wonder, why hadn't you said
anything throughout the barrage of bashing of people, corruption and the
"filth" there, and now not expect that this impression is prevalent and
accepted by a lot of list members? This is an exotic and majestic area to
visit, though lacking in hygene by the cultural standards of many
outsiders.
The list has been fixated on the negative and a meteoric attention span.
Why don't you ask what Bob Haag about his recent vacation in the wonderful
area, he probably has seen enough in his life to give a different
perspective on their hygene and culture.
Bob W. - David off the list? Eighty-six that possee!
Best wishes and health,
Doug
Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother.
See
those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there
when
you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas
arguing
over who owns the dog they live on.

If Art removes me I'll be happy to leave. It's people like you who make
me
vomit all over this "LIST". And don't ever visit my website which
contains
a quarter of a million words bringing the most current meteorite research
to those interested, including total morons like you. You are hereby
forbidden to visit it. I do not want to contribute anything else to this
LIST or to you, you small-brained idiot. Kiss my ass!
David
