When we were on the Gapagagos Islands, we had no Internet. I took notes, and now I am filling in those dates, I.e. May 12th-19th. So if you want to know about our trip there, go back to those dates.
Today, in Cusco, Peru, we visited some amazing Inca sites. Their knowledge of construction, astronomy, agriculture, teaching methods were all remarkable. They had no alphabet so no written language. They used strings with knots to count, a precursor to the abacus. Their culture, buildings, and lifestyle were totally destroyed by the Spanish conquerors in the name of Catholicism, but really it was to claim gold and silver for the Spanish crown.
