Hey, gang it has been a while! We are in Cajamarca, Peru now. I was not sure where to start this, but Cajamarca has a BIG TIME history (and present history) re gold.
The Conga (BIG proposed gold) mine, currently suspended, but they want to mine it anyway. Some locals want it (jobs), some do not (pollution).
The Inca King Atahualpa was ransomed by Pizarro for 5000 kg of gold and 12,000 kg of silver. The Incas paid up. Pizarro garrotted him anyway...
Tomorrow I visit the Editor of the Cajamarca newspaper, I will interview HIM!
I hope to write a piece by about Saturday when we are back in Lima.

The food here is really good.....
BEST to all of you here at pmbug!
