Chicha!

After a great tour of some incan ruins near cuzco, our guide Jose took us in to a local store to indulge in the local specialty: Chica, that is the great corn beer of the Incans. We will have many more comments on this fine beverage soon--as soon as we can escape the bathroom that is.

Expedition Leader

Peter Allen: Despite his significant experience climbing in the Sierra Nevada and exploring Europe, some critics questioned his qualifications to lead the expedition to a South American country. In general, he answered his critics and strengthened his bid to lead future Allen family expeditions. Major shortcomings included often forgetting that it was not an expedition of one and wearing generally drab colors that made it difficult for his expedition team members to spot him from the typically great distances he placed between himself and his crew. Overall grade: A-

LOGISTICS

Ted Allen. A crafty veteran of numerous solo trips to Central and South America, he was at times overwhelmed by the need to arrive at consensus regarding daily plans. At times he abandoned his duties entirely out of mounting frustration with the inability to satisfy all team members. His knowledge of Lima restaurants cut a lot of time off searches for places to eat, but also resulted in some ill-fated choices that cost the team funds that could have been otherwise allocated. However, the team came home intact and generally healthy. Overall grade: B-
