Getting Ready

Not much to report as yet but we thought there ought to be something to see when people get the blog address and come to have a look.... now that you’re here why not add this page to your favourites or even become a blog follower? It will be good to know that friends and family are following us. We have loaded a map so that you can look at our itinerary – beneath the map there is something that says “View C and G go r-t-w in a larger map” click on this and it should take you to our map in Google Maps, you can then view it like any Google map (view as map/satellite/terrain and small/large/huge/so big you can see the path we have to climb to get to Machu Picchu). There is also something about the Moctezuma exhibition we went to at the British Museum in October (our ‘test’ blog to make sure it worked).

We haven’t actually started packing yet although we are beginning to assemble stuff so we can see just how much we’re going to have to leave behind. Just how does one pack for four months travelling with no porters?

Richard, our house-sitter, has been introduced to the quirks of the Martin-Smith household and also to our neighbours and he says that he is looking forward to living here (well it HAS to be better than a tent at the Lee Valley Park campground – his usual address).

Gregg fue a las lecciones españolas en La Casa Internacional y esperanzas que él ha aprendido bastantes para supervivencia en América latina. Aqui está una fotografia de nuestra clase ultimo, para entonces más que mitad habian salido!
