Hey, it was on the train from Cuzco to Machu Picchu (1981) where I met the girl who later became my wife and mother to our daughter...

  1. I was going to take that train in 1986, but I was short of cash. El Sindero Luminoso blew it up and killed about 60 people, 40 of them American tourists.

    Talk about a navel gazing moment...
