Our reentry to the US was jarring.
The experience was peppered with travel drama, exhaustion, but during those hours, we had a lot of time to people watch.

The DC airport was abuzz, the beginning of Spring break and it became our fish eye lens to observe the people who rushed through one end to the other. We were in super slow motion, no where to go, only time to observe. The world we left almost four years ago was represented here, in DC as a true microcosm. A microcosm on steroids, …

According to Wikipedia:
The Coricancha or Qorikancha (from the Quechua words Quri Kancha meaning “Golden Temple”), originally named Inti Kancha (“Temple of the Sun”) or Inti Wasi (“Sun House”), was the most important temple in the Inca Empire, dedicated primarily to Inti, the Sun God.

Photographing Peru’s Coneheads
Miro and I first came into contact with Brien Foerester and the amazing elongated skulls of Paracas Peru in December of 2011 when we visited the Paracas History Museum. From that day on, I have become fascinated with the enigma of the skulls here in Peru and have visited every museum containing one of these enigmas as often as I could. In summer of 2012, I volunteered to travel to Paracas to photograph the skulls so they would have a documentation of the skulls in the collection of this private museum. The Paracas History Museum is the home of the largest …

About a week ago, I sat down to write my thoughts about today, December 21st, 2012. My mind raced as this is one of the most anticipated dates in the consciousness of the world. I always knew this day would be meaningful as I dug deeper into my archeology interests, and studied the mysticism of the ancients.

Both Miro and I were so moved, we did not expect such a profound experience as a result of being in a “place”.  And for me,  my interest in archeology guided my desire to explore deeper than …
