Having experienced 5 hours at the Minnesota State Fair, I can’t help but imagine a post-apocalyptic storyteller spinning a yarn that’s half as indulgent and twice as unbelievable as the real thing. Millions of people gather to celebrate the epitome of the epitome of life 150 years ago. Today’s best of yesterday’s best? You know […]

Day 103
18 Apr 2018 (Lima, Peru): We walked and ate a lot today. Leah had another ceviche (seriously), I had 2 pollos a la brasa, we both had ice cream, etc etc. Most importantly, this city has really beautiful sunsets over the Pacific.

Along the way, the second bus stops a lot of times to enjoy the scenery (but more to buy shit because every […]
