There Are Mountains in California?

Antarctica – the Human Connection
PROLOGUE January 1-3, 2019 Ushuaia, Argentina It’s December 24th, 2018. I am wandering through the streets of Ushuaia, desperately trying to find a passage to Antarctica.

La Ciudád Blanca
The White City June 13th, 2019 Arequipa, Peru I felt surprisingly good after a 24 hour bus journey from La Paz. The fact that I slept a solid 6 or 7 hours on the night bus made all the difference. At about 10:00 am I ventured into town. I first found Plaza de Armas, the…
