I have said some unkind things about bloggers and travel journalers in the past. I made my argument that the "blog" is really much more fascinating to the author than to the dutiful friends who make the obligatory blog visit when they see their friend has been fishing for comments by making a post on facebook: check out my blog, I added new pictures. Pictures are a good way to sucker people in, I like pictures.
Inevitably the post will still be self-indulgent, and there will not be enough pictures. Much like this post (I like to think i am self-aware enough to see the irony in El Peruvian).
So if you do your duty, visit once, get bored half way through and hope next time there are more pictures, you are forgiven.
I will occasionally give quippy updates on the perils and pleasures of South America. I will offer a unique glimpse into the lives of the beautiful people of Peru. I may seek to inspire you into action on behalf of the impoverished children of casa Hogar Luz Alba. but who I am kidding, this blog is really for me (and maybe my mom). You made your dutiful visit, and now your off the hook, unless you care to indulge me too :)
