After experiencing the adventures and scenery of “The Motorcycle Diaries”, I’ve become infatuated with traveling to South America. I am particularly intrigued with Machu Picchu – ancient Inca city perched high in the Peruvian mountains. Most of its surroundings is dense bush and this coupled with its tremendous height, make it quite a trek and adventure. This ancient city is made up of approximately 200 ruins/buildings – and although it is no longer inhabited, it is filled with the life and legacy of the grandeur of the civilization that created it and once resided in it.
Some day… I’ll make it out there and perhaps the journey will so enhance my perspective that I will dedicate my life to a worldwide revolution to free the poverty-stricken third world (and the third-world-like communities that exist in “developed” countries) from the oppession of capitalism and racism… ; )
