		<title>Color TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We flew to the United States in January. Our leg from Miami to Chicago was diverted by snow to Denver, where the airline put us up in a hotel to wait for better weather. The TV in the hotel room was in color. The garish over-hued reds and greens of the football players’ uniforms floated [...]]]></description>

		<title>The old country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every few years a missionary family is expected to come “home” to the US, for an extended visit called a furlough. The immediate point is to promote the mission project to the congregations whose donations support the missionary. The family also sees family, gets medical checkups with doctors who are more trusted than those available [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Getting around Lima, for those without Land Rovers, was all about jumping on and asking questions later. The shortage of transportation was severe enough, and the job market thin enough, to drive many men to throw their own cars or vans into service as informal cabs and buses. They would stick a hand-lettered sign on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cinder block</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My closest peer among the Peruvian church members was Eduardo Ramos. He was about my age, with a younger sister named Raquel and an older brother and sister whose names I forget. The Ramoses were not new arrivals from the countryside, like most of their neighbors. Eduardo’s mother, Consuelo, was related to Chinese immigrants, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dream house</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The neighborhood of San Gabriel had been renamed José Carlos Mariátegui, under the rule of the populist generals, in honor of Peru’s chief representative in the world communist conspiracy. Mariátegui, a Basque immigrant in the early 20th century, had been a friend of Lenin’s and a founder of the Third International, and was the patron [...]]]></description>

		<title>Street food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A narrow two-lane paved road, built a few years before with money from John Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress, ran the length of Peru’s coastal plain. It was called the Pan-American Highway, and in the barriadas to the south of the city it was the only paved road. It more or less bisected the expanse of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whale bones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We took a right turn off the Pan American highway and drive several miles along a gravel road to the tiny town of Puerto Lomas. Fishing was no longer a major source of work for ordinary Peruvians along the coast; industrial-scale ocean fishing had long ago driven most of them out of business. But Puerto [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nazca 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow they decided to chance it – we weren’t doing anything else pressing around there, just heading for the beach – so we loaded up the Land Rover and bounced out to where someone had suggested we might find the fearsome Dr. Reich. Near a shed in the middle of absolutely nowhere, a Toyota Land [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nazca</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My parents believed strongly in getting out and seeing things, especially archeological sites and beaches, neither of which was much in evidence in the places they came from. There was one beach in the port city of Callao, next to Lima, made of rocks the size of my fists, worn smooth by the waves. I [...]]]></description>
