VALLEY SICKNESS

There are several sides to our family, most notable are those of us that seek out the internal organs, and those that inhabit the skin. In Ecuador and Peru we were most notorious for traveling in the latter from as early as 100 A.D.  We must remark on how delightful the Chicama Valley in Peru was as a destination, with its irrigation systems, monumental architecture, gold work and beautifully painted ceramics. The local Moche people were so hospitable that they fashioned a ‘whistling vessel’ to commemorate our presence.
