Heene, H.
1980
19 November we stopped a moment at a small village,
(continued) and I photographed a full moon in a
deep, royal blue sky, shining down from
a bridge on a field bounded by a
pretty adobe cotta fence. Very beautiful.
Arrived back in Cusco 21:30 tired.
Forgot to mention that as we boarded the
train in Cusco I ran into John Behler,
Curator of Herpetology at the Bronx Zoo,
who was leading a tour. On way back,
Norma McCaw, a British woman we
took up with, convinced an old American
couple she didn't like sitting w/ to
switch seats w/ us, and we thereby
avoided another 4 hours w/ Smokey
Samora and his sweetie. Supper in
Cusco at La Roma not especially good.
20 November Got up at 0530 for trip to airport for
early flight, but arrived to find all
flights holding. One Aero Peru did
leave 10, but at 12:30 the Faucett
Air flights were cancelled - back to
the hotel level, and a nap. Later
took in the Indian market: hundreds
of stalls, women cooking and nursing
children still seated on the cobblesions,
