I love these photos, Rob. When were you there?
I'm particularly struck by your comment on the 3000 varieties of potatoes in Peru (and I've only grown about two or three varieties, all recent adaptations!)
I'm reading Robin Wright's A short history of progress, in which he mentioned that the pre-Columbian Americas had a far, far greater variety of edible crops than the Old World ever did, with its shrinking reliance on a few grass seeds!
Wew were there in October. It was fabulous. we helped refurbish a school in a village. Spent three days with the villagers and had great fun.
Hi there.
My name is Peter Pallin, and I live in Belfast. I hope you don't mind me sending this, but I red your blog and it looks very interesting, so I thought I might as well. I've only just got internet back on after some time, and lots of my friends seemed to be on Facebook. I was not really meaning to, but I started a group called Global Pallins, and have had a slow but steady response. I don't want it to be my own group, I just wanted to get it sarted. There are Pallins in Sweden, Norway, Canada, America, Mexico, Italy, Ireland, Australia, Brazil and England, and admittedly they haven't all joined yet, but the more people that join, the more people will.
It's not really about trying to find connections, so much as a novelty, and there are several distinct families so far. There's no obligation or commitment, and certainly no costs involved, but if you would be prepared to put some information on "the wall" about who you are, and what other Pallins you know or are related to I'm sure we'd all like to hear about.
It really wouldn't take long, and you might find it interesting, if not now, then at some point.
Anyway...
I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time.
Cheerio. Peter
