			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Ativan For Sale</b>, During my month-long hiatus from this blog, I got hooked on another form of social media: <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>

<p>For instance, if it weren't for Twitter, I don't know how quickly I would have discovered <a href="http://twitter.com/paulcox" target="_self">Paul Cox </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/melanita" target="_blank">Melanie McLean </a>of the entertaining travel blog <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wayward Winos</a>, <b>Ativan For Sale</b>. The young adventurers are blogging their way through South America "far and wide, <b>buy Ativan online cod</b>, <b>Where can i order Ativan without prescription</b>, one drink at a time."

<p>It's also thanks to Twitter that I've discovered an alternative universe I would never have imagined: nonPeruvians who are passionate about raising alpacas on their own farms.  I always thought that alpacas needed the frigidly cold air of the Andes to thrive, <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>, <b>Where can i buy Ativan online</b>, but now after following <a href="http://twitter.com/Zenasurialpacas" target="_blank">@Zenasurialpacas</a> ("ex reporter ole lady alpaca rancher"), <a href="http://twitter.com/AlpacaFarmgirl" target="_blank">@AlpacaFarmgirl </a>and other camelid caretakers, <b>buy generic Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan online no prescription</b>, I've learned that alpacas are happily breeding in places as far-flung as Utah, Alabama and the Netherlands, <b>where can i find Ativan online</b>.  <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>,  It's fun to eavesdrop on the alpaca tweet gang as they share news of <a href="http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com/" target="_blank">new crias, fleece-carding and pronking</a>. </p>

Anthropologist <a href="http://records.viu.ca/www/discover/newsrls/jan97/ingeb.htm" target="_blank">Inge Bolin </a>comments on the deep bond between traditional people in the high Andes and their animals:
<blockquote>"People talk about their llamas and alpacas with great emotion. 'They are our brothers and sisters,' the people of Chillihuani often comment. 'We owe our lives to these animals and they owe theirs to us.'

High-altitude herders have also called llams and alpacas 'our ancestors.' In the Andes, humans and their alpacas are part of the same empirical and spiritual world. They are believed to arise from the same source and to be governed by the same supernatural powers."</blockquote>

<p style="text-align: left;"> Time for an Andean reality check. Too much <a href="http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/23/paris-hilton-bikini-babes-to-model-at-%e2%80%a6-machu-picchu/" target="_blank">Paris Hilton bikini </a>nonsense.</p>

I met this woman last month while trekking around Mount Ausangate, in southern Peru.

Her name is Vicentina Chuchicari Mamani, and like most people in the area, she spins her wool and makes her own clothes.

People have been crafting their textiles in this way for more than a thousand years.

Vicentina is 48 years old. She has spent every day of her life sitting in the lap of Ausangate, spinning wool from her herd of llamas and alpacas.  She likes to be busy, she says.

When I tried to take a photo of her at rest, she made a face at the camera.

It's not honorable to be photographed doing <em>nothing</em>, she explained.

It's good to work.

Traditional Andean woman like to sit on or near the ground to be close to Pachamama, the Earth Mother.

It's good to sit like that, I was told.]]></content:encoded>

Anthropologist <a href="http://records.viu.ca/www/discover/newsrls/jan97/ingeb.htm" target="_blank">Inge Bolin </a>comments on the deep bond between traditional people in the high Andes and their animals:
<blockquote>"People talk about their llamas and alpacas with great emotion. 'They are our brothers and sisters,' the people of Chillihuani often comment. 'We owe our lives to these animals and they owe theirs to us.'

High-altitude herders have also called llams and alpacas 'our ancestors.' In the Andes, humans and their alpacas are part of the same empirical and spiritual world. They are believed to arise from the same source and to be governed by the same supernatural powers."</blockquote>

<p style="text-align: left;"> Time for an Andean reality check. Too much <a href="http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/23/paris-hilton-bikini-babes-to-model-at-%e2%80%a6-machu-picchu/" target="_blank">Paris Hilton bikini </a>nonsense.</p>

I met this woman last month while trekking around Mount Ausangate, in southern Peru.

Her name is Vicentina Chuchicari Mamani, and like most people in the area, she spins her wool and makes her own clothes.

People have been crafting their textiles in this way for more than a thousand years.

Vicentina is 48 years old. She has spent every day of her life sitting in the lap of Ausangate, spinning wool from her herd of llamas and alpacas.  She likes to be busy, she says.

When I tried to take a photo of her at rest, she made a face at the camera.

It's not honorable to be photographed doing <em>nothing</em>, she explained.

It's good to work.

Traditional Andean woman like to sit on or near the ground to be close to Pachamama, the Earth Mother.

It's good to sit like that, I was told.]]></content:encoded>

<p style="text-align: left;"> Time for an Andean reality check. Too much <a href="http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/23/paris-hilton-bikini-babes-to-model-at-%e2%80%a6-machu-picchu/" target="_blank">Paris Hilton bikini </a>nonsense.</p>

I met this woman last month while trekking around Mount Ausangate, in southern Peru.

Her name is Vicentina Chuchicari Mamani, and like most people in the area, she spins her wool and makes her own clothes.

People have been crafting their textiles in this way for more than a thousand years.

Vicentina is 48 years old. She has spent every day of her life sitting in the lap of Ausangate, spinning wool from her herd of llamas and alpacas.  She likes to be busy, she says.

When I tried to take a photo of her at rest, she made a face at the camera.

It's not honorable to be photographed doing <em>nothing</em>, she explained.

It's good to work.

Traditional Andean woman like to sit on or near the ground to be close to Pachamama, the Earth Mother.

It's good to sit like that, I was told.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Ativan For Sale</b>, During my month-long hiatus from this blog, I got hooked on another form of social media: <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px 15px; border: black 5px solid;" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/mediajobsdaily/original/twitter.jpg" alt="twitter.jpg" hspace="7" vspace="3" width="225" height="172" align="right" />Unlike <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <b>order Ativan from mexican pharmacy</b>, <b>Online buy Ativan without a prescription</b>, which facilitates staying touch with family and friends, Twitter is a freeform broadcast to just about anyone on the planet, <b>rx free Ativan</b>.  <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ativan online</b>, That might not sound like a medium that would interest a relatively private person (like me), but it turns out that Twitter makes it ridiculously easy to connect with people you've always wanted to know, <b>buy Ativan without a prescription</b>.  <b>Order Ativan</b>, You can tweet with editors of magazines and publishing houses, ask a quick question of New Yorker writer <a href="http://twitter.com/susanorlean" target="_blank">Susan Orlean</a>, <b>buy cheap Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan no prescription</b>, compliment <a href="http://twitter.com/DaveJMatthews" target="_blank">Dave Matthews </a>on his latest album and keep up with environmental issues from the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/guardianeco" target="_blank">Guardian</a> Online, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClimateProject" target="_blank">The Climate Project</a> and other sources, <b>buy Ativan from mexico</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, Twitter also will lead you serendipitously to aquaintances who are pursuing projects similar to your own (like bloggers Stuart of <a href="http://enperublog.com/" target="_blank">En Peru </a>and Rachel of <a href="http://rachelinperu.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rachel in Peru</a>) and/or are leading fascinating lives.</p>
<p>For instance, if it weren't for Twitter, I don't know how quickly I would have discovered <a href="http://twitter.com/paulcox" target="_self">Paul Cox </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/melanita" target="_blank">Melanie McLean </a>of the entertaining travel blog <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wayward Winos</a>, <b>Ativan For Sale</b>. The young adventurers are blogging their way through South America "far and wide, <b>buy Ativan online cod</b>, <b>Where can i order Ativan without prescription</b>, one drink at a time." They stopped in Peru for a while before continuing south to Chile (nix on the food, says Paul) and then to Argentina (thumbs up).  Currently they're roaming around Buenos Aires, <b>Ativan from canadian pharmacy</b>, <b>Order Ativan online c.o.d</b>, where <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/2009/05/dancing-in-streets.html" target="_blank">they're separating the real culture from the tourists traps</a>.  </p>
<p>It's also thanks to Twitter that I've discovered an alternative universe I would never have imagined: nonPeruvians who are passionate about raising alpacas on their own farms.  I always thought that alpacas needed the frigidly cold air of the Andes to thrive, <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>, <b>Where can i buy Ativan online</b>, but now after following <a href="http://twitter.com/Zenasurialpacas" target="_blank">@Zenasurialpacas</a> ("ex reporter ole lady alpaca rancher"), <a href="http://twitter.com/AlpacaFarmgirl" target="_blank">@AlpacaFarmgirl </a>and other camelid caretakers, <b>buy generic Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan online no prescription</b>, I've learned that alpacas are happily breeding in places as far-flung as Utah, Alabama and the Netherlands, <b>where can i find Ativan online</b>.  <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>,  It's fun to eavesdrop on the alpaca tweet gang as they share news of <a href="http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com/" target="_blank">new crias, fleece-carding and pronking</a>. </p>
<p>New words are good, <b>Ativan over the counter</b>.  <b>Purchase Ativan online no prescription</b>, Maybe what I like best about Twitter is its potential to spread urgent news fast among widening networks of people.<br />

<blockquote>"People talk about their llamas and alpacas with great emotion. 'They are our brothers and sisters,' the people of Chillihuani often comment. 'We owe our lives to these animals and they owe theirs to us.'

High-altitude herders have also called llams and alpacas 'our ancestors.' In the Andes, humans and their alpacas are part of the same empirical and spiritual world. They are believed to arise from the same source and to be governed by the same supernatural powers."</blockquote>

I met this woman last month while trekking around Mount Ausangate, in southern Peru.

Her name is Vicentina Chuchicari Mamani, and like most people in the area, she spins her wool and makes her own clothes.

People have been crafting their textiles in this way for more than a thousand years.

Vicentina is 48 years old. She has spent every day of her life sitting in the lap of Ausangate, spinning wool from her herd of llamas and alpacas.  She likes to be busy, she says.

When I tried to take a photo of her at rest, she made a face at the camera.

It's not honorable to be photographed doing <em>nothing</em>, she explained.

It's good to work.

Traditional Andean woman like to sit on or near the ground to be close to Pachamama, the Earth Mother.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Ativan For Sale</b>, During my month-long hiatus from this blog, I got hooked on another form of social media: <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px 15px; border: black 5px solid;" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/mediajobsdaily/original/twitter.jpg" alt="twitter.jpg" hspace="7" vspace="3" width="225" height="172" align="right" />Unlike <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <b>order Ativan from mexican pharmacy</b>, <b>Online buy Ativan without a prescription</b>, which facilitates staying touch with family and friends, Twitter is a freeform broadcast to just about anyone on the planet, <b>rx free Ativan</b>.  <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ativan online</b>, That might not sound like a medium that would interest a relatively private person (like me), but it turns out that Twitter makes it ridiculously easy to connect with people you've always wanted to know, <b>buy Ativan without a prescription</b>.  <b>Order Ativan</b>, You can tweet with editors of magazines and publishing houses, ask a quick question of New Yorker writer <a href="http://twitter.com/susanorlean" target="_blank">Susan Orlean</a>, <b>buy cheap Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan no prescription</b>, compliment <a href="http://twitter.com/DaveJMatthews" target="_blank">Dave Matthews </a>on his latest album and keep up with environmental issues from the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/guardianeco" target="_blank">Guardian</a> Online, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClimateProject" target="_blank">The Climate Project</a> and other sources, <b>buy Ativan from mexico</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, Twitter also will lead you serendipitously to aquaintances who are pursuing projects similar to your own (like bloggers Stuart of <a href="http://enperublog.com/" target="_blank">En Peru </a>and Rachel of <a href="http://rachelinperu.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rachel in Peru</a>) and/or are leading fascinating lives.</p>
<p>For instance, if it weren't for Twitter, I don't know how quickly I would have discovered <a href="http://twitter.com/paulcox" target="_self">Paul Cox </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/melanita" target="_blank">Melanie McLean </a>of the entertaining travel blog <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wayward Winos</a>, <b>Ativan For Sale</b>. The young adventurers are blogging their way through South America "far and wide, <b>buy Ativan online cod</b>, <b>Where can i order Ativan without prescription</b>, one drink at a time." They stopped in Peru for a while before continuing south to Chile (nix on the food, says Paul) and then to Argentina (thumbs up).  Currently they're roaming around Buenos Aires, <b>Ativan from canadian pharmacy</b>, <b>Order Ativan online c.o.d</b>, where <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/2009/05/dancing-in-streets.html" target="_blank">they're separating the real culture from the tourists traps</a>.  </p>
<p>It's also thanks to Twitter that I've discovered an alternative universe I would never have imagined: nonPeruvians who are passionate about raising alpacas on their own farms.  I always thought that alpacas needed the frigidly cold air of the Andes to thrive, <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>, <b>Where can i buy Ativan online</b>, but now after following <a href="http://twitter.com/Zenasurialpacas" target="_blank">@Zenasurialpacas</a> ("ex reporter ole lady alpaca rancher"), <a href="http://twitter.com/AlpacaFarmgirl" target="_blank">@AlpacaFarmgirl </a>and other camelid caretakers, <b>buy generic Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan online no prescription</b>, I've learned that alpacas are happily breeding in places as far-flung as Utah, Alabama and the Netherlands, <b>where can i find Ativan online</b>.  <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>,  It's fun to eavesdrop on the alpaca tweet gang as they share news of <a href="http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com/" target="_blank">new crias, fleece-carding and pronking</a>. </p>
<p>New words are good, <b>Ativan over the counter</b>.  <b>Purchase Ativan online no prescription</b>, Maybe what I like best about Twitter is its potential to spread urgent news fast among widening networks of people.<br />

This past weekend, <b>australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, <b>Buy generic Ativan</b>,   a bunch of us were tweeting about how we can help the <a href="http://www.peruviantimes.com/twenty-six-children-dead-because-of-extreme-cold-in-puno-so-far-in-2009/" target="_blank">people in the Andean highlands who are dying from extreme cold-induced pneumonia</a>. About 10 people messaged me, <b>buy cheap Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan online cod</b>, saying they want to contribute however they can. El Fotografo and I are researching groups that are doing clothing and blanket drives, <b>buy Ativan from mexico</b>.  <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ativan online</b>, Stay tuned for more info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Ativan For Sale</b>, During my month-long hiatus from this blog, I got hooked on another form of social media: <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px 15px; border: black 5px solid;" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/mediajobsdaily/original/twitter.jpg" alt="twitter.jpg" hspace="7" vspace="3" width="225" height="172" align="right" />Unlike <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <b>order Ativan from mexican pharmacy</b>, <b>Online buy Ativan without a prescription</b>, which facilitates staying touch with family and friends, Twitter is a freeform broadcast to just about anyone on the planet, <b>rx free Ativan</b>.  <b>Where can i buy cheapest Ativan online</b>, That might not sound like a medium that would interest a relatively private person (like me), but it turns out that Twitter makes it ridiculously easy to connect with people you've always wanted to know, <b>buy Ativan without a prescription</b>.  <b>Order Ativan</b>, You can tweet with editors of magazines and publishing houses, ask a quick question of New Yorker writer <a href="http://twitter.com/susanorlean" target="_blank">Susan Orlean</a>, <b>buy cheap Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan no prescription</b>, compliment <a href="http://twitter.com/DaveJMatthews" target="_blank">Dave Matthews </a>on his latest album and keep up with environmental issues from the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/guardianeco" target="_blank">Guardian</a> Online, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClimateProject" target="_blank">The Climate Project</a> and other sources, <b>buy Ativan from mexico</b>.  <b>Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, Twitter also will lead you serendipitously to aquaintances who are pursuing projects similar to your own (like bloggers Stuart of <a href="http://enperublog.com/" target="_blank">En Peru </a>and Rachel of <a href="http://rachelinperu.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rachel in Peru</a>) and/or are leading fascinating lives.</p>
<p>For instance, if it weren't for Twitter, I don't know how quickly I would have discovered <a href="http://twitter.com/paulcox" target="_self">Paul Cox </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/melanita" target="_blank">Melanie McLean </a>of the entertaining travel blog <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wayward Winos</a>, <b>Ativan For Sale</b>. The young adventurers are blogging their way through South America "far and wide, <b>buy Ativan online cod</b>, <b>Where can i order Ativan without prescription</b>, one drink at a time." They stopped in Peru for a while before continuing south to Chile (nix on the food, says Paul) and then to Argentina (thumbs up).  Currently they're roaming around Buenos Aires, <b>Ativan from canadian pharmacy</b>, <b>Order Ativan online c.o.d</b>, where <a href="http://waywardwinos.blogspot.com/2009/05/dancing-in-streets.html" target="_blank">they're separating the real culture from the tourists traps</a>.  </p>
<p>It's also thanks to Twitter that I've discovered an alternative universe I would never have imagined: nonPeruvians who are passionate about raising alpacas on their own farms.  I always thought that alpacas needed the frigidly cold air of the Andes to thrive, <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>, <b>Where can i buy Ativan online</b>, but now after following <a href="http://twitter.com/Zenasurialpacas" target="_blank">@Zenasurialpacas</a> ("ex reporter ole lady alpaca rancher"), <a href="http://twitter.com/AlpacaFarmgirl" target="_blank">@AlpacaFarmgirl </a>and other camelid caretakers, <b>buy generic Ativan</b>, <b>Buy Ativan online no prescription</b>, I've learned that alpacas are happily breeding in places as far-flung as Utah, Alabama and the Netherlands, <b>where can i find Ativan online</b>.  <b>Ativan pharmacy</b>,  It's fun to eavesdrop on the alpaca tweet gang as they share news of <a href="http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com/" target="_blank">new crias, fleece-carding and pronking</a>. </p>
<p>New words are good, <b>Ativan over the counter</b>.  <b>Purchase Ativan online no prescription</b>, Maybe what I like best about Twitter is its potential to spread urgent news fast among widening networks of people.<br />

This past weekend, <b>australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay</b>, <b>Buy generic Ativan</b>,   a bunch of us were tweeting about how we can help the <a href="http://www.peruviantimes.com/twenty-six-children-dead-because-of-extreme-cold-in-puno-so-far-in-2009/" target="_blank">people in the Andean highlands who are dying from extreme cold-induced pneumonia</a>.

Anthropologist <a href="http://records.viu.ca/www/discover/newsrls/jan97/ingeb.htm" target="_blank">Inge Bolin </a>comments on the deep bond between traditional people in the high Andes and their animals:
<blockquote>"People talk about their llamas and alpacas with great emotion. 'They are our brothers and sisters,' the people of Chillihuani often comment. 'We owe our lives to these animals and they owe theirs to us.'

High-altitude herders have also called llams and alpacas 'our ancestors.' In the Andes, humans and their alpacas are part of the same empirical and spiritual world. They are believed to arise from the same source and to be governed by the same supernatural powers."</blockquote>

<p style="text-align: left;"> Time for an Andean reality check. Too much <a href="http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/23/paris-hilton-bikini-babes-to-model-at-%e2%80%a6-machu-picchu/" target="_blank">Paris Hilton bikini </a>nonsense.</p>

I met this woman last month while trekking around Mount Ausangate, in southern Peru.

Her name is Vicentina Chuchicari Mamani, and like most people in the area, she spins her wool and makes her own clothes.

People have been crafting their textiles in this way for more than a thousand years.

Vicentina is 48 years old. She has spent every day of her life sitting in the lap of Ausangate, spinning wool from her herd of llamas and alpacas.  She likes to be busy, she says.

When I tried to take a photo of her at rest, she made a face at the camera.

It's not honorable to be photographed doing <em>nothing</em>, she explained.

It's good to work.

Traditional Andean woman like to sit on or near the ground to be close to Pachamama, the Earth Mother.

It's good to sit like that, I was told.]]></content:encoded>

The wedding reception was held at a sort of an ecological/conservation site, which included a mini farm with typical Peruvian animals: llamas, alpacas, sheep and a lone vicuna. There were about 250 people at the wedding, and when you got tired of being with them, you could head out back to hang out with animals. Most of them were friendly, except for the vicuna, who was high-strung and had a pen all to himself and liked to spit at people.

This photo is either of a llama or an alpaca: the difference has been explained to me, but it's gone out of my head. If you can identify the camelid, please do.]]></content:encoded>
