The Cathedral is no more

I just learned, that The Cathedral - one of most beautiful places located in Paracas, Peru, is no more. This is a photo I took in November 2006, while traveling to Ica and around it:

And this is what happened after an earthquake in August 2007:

What Kind of Drink Are You?

You are a part Whiskey on the Rocks. You are tough and you know it. It takes a long time for people to get to know you but you wouldn't have it any other way. You don't care what people think, but sometimes that turns people off of you.
You are a part Fine Glass of Wine. You are sophisticated and refined, but also complicated and hard to deal with. Not everyone loves you, but those who do swear that you're the coolest thing since sliced bread. One of these days the people that matter will understand you. Until then, you will be sitting on your throne as the distinguished product that not everyone has the taste to appreciate.

Earthquake in Peru

As I read the news today, there has been strong earthquake in Peru. About 500 died, over 1500 casualties. It stroke mostly in cities Ica, Chincha and Pisco, where around 70% of houses are damaged.

There are some photos. This can be shocking.
More news: CNN, El Comercio, Nomadlife.org.

From the emails I know, that my friends in Peru are fine. Lima has not suffered too much, but south from it was disastrous. If you're in Peru and reading, let me know how you are.

Stereoscopes

The images below when viewed in certain way make illusion of three dimensions. I made them myself.
In short, to see image, cross your eyes so you actually see three images. Focus on the center one. You should see it in 3D.
If you really can't see anything, google "Magic eye" and read about this technique.

28 July

¡Viva el Perú! ¡Feliz 28 de Julio!

Today is 28 July, the most important day for all Peruvians. At least for those, who feel patriotic, and Peruvians, just as we, Poles, love their country. They can whine about the poverty, about their economy, government, el Presidente, but are still proud to be Peruvian. Proud of being ancestors of brave Incas.

Today is the day, when every Peruvian will put the flag on his house, meet up with some friend, drink some pisco and celebrate the independence. Celebrate, that exactly 186 years ago general San Martin declared independence from Spain.

Already tomorrow I planned to have a barbecue. But the weather is not too stable, rainy and grey. I wonder if anybody will show up.
