Cusco, Perú
Another view of Nevado Salcantay (6271m)
We sat out a brief thunderstorm while eating lunch in Ancahuasi, after entering the high pampa before Cusco. We met Argentine cyclist Adrian, who’s on his way to Mexico. He cannot get a visa to enter the US. A young cyclist guided us to the city center where a couple flagged us down. Michael and Ciska Verhage are cycling from LA to Chile on two tandems with their boys Jesse (13) and Sammy (11). They had cycled with the Family on Bikes in Central America shortly before I did. We spent many hours visiting before they headed off to Bolivia.

Hi D&J, the fact that this Argentine fellow Adrian is being denied a US visa jumps out as one of those ugly inequities. I hope he has some recourse when he gets to Mexico to show up at a US consulate and show that he is a serious traveler whose visit to the US would be very welcome and appreciated by us. Keeping turning your cranks. John
