system the 4 hrs tells and the various
celestial workings necessary to life in a Persian
town. Tonight, full moon among the small
farms of the Chuberos Valley, a dozen or more
dogs are barking and a flute and drummer are
accompanying a bonfire in the courtyard of a
small farm down below, the white-erased adobe
sticks against the dark hills.
Aug. 31 The road from Chucles to Tolavera - Andahuaylas
goes up into rich country with sheep, cows, horses,
no llamas. Saw no vicuñas or trumons. Then
down again into the Encoflthos at Tolavera 9200ft.
Spent a couple of hours in Tolavera taking pictures
and waiting for the light to be right for the shot. It didn't
clear up just before the right time. The three towns
Tolavera, Andahuaylas, and I are all photogenic and
only a few kilometers apart. The latter has a plaza that
is closed, but sun was down before I got there.
Drove off out of the valley into the rich at 12,800ft,
and set traps among boulders by jacklight at 8pm.
Sept. 1 Only 1 alborn Bolivian; not good. Temp. at 6 a.m.
-4°C. Then across rich highlands and down down
to Abacay, but with magnificent snow-capped peaks and deep valleys along the way. Then up again into rich
and colored rain of cloud-draped Solcantry and Cordillera
Blanca. Then down again towards Rito Apurimac.
Camped at 8000ft. among 10-foot bushes of Schinus, thorn, opuntia,
