For years the two of us have been harboring a dream, to take a year off to travel together with our son, Brook. We're delighted to now be fulfilling that dream. In July 2011 we began the trip of a lifetime, traveling around the world. We are learning from and adventuring amidst other cultures, schooling Brook along the way, and creating fantastic family memories. Please share your comments and questions! - John and Eydie

Actively Acquiring

On the shopping front, Cusco is similar to Kathmandu but on a smaller scale.  You can find cheaply made outdoor clothing and gear for a reasonable price.  Today we went to El Molino market to look for warm clothes that are knockoffs of well known brands.  In the market we found used outdoor clothes from the U.S. that make their way here via Chile. We are wishing we had our down jackets from Nepal with us.  In an effort to travel light, we left them in Colorado.  Even at reasonable prices, how many winter jackets do we need? It looks like at least one more!
