For those of you who visited this wonderful country last year for our friend's wedding, you know both what a special place it is, but also how difficult life may be for many of its citizens.
Unfortunately, life has just been made all the more difficult due to the massive quake near Ica in the southern desert.
For those who have yet to visit this unique place, I encourage you not to be scared off by the news reports. The majority of the country remains unaffected by the quake, almost all of the popular (and less popular) areas to visit are open, and of course, your tourist dollars will be most appreciated.
I am encouraging everyone who can spare a little cash to donate it through OxFam (generally well-regarded, non-religiously affiliated charity) as they have an extensive operation set up in Peru.

Mil gracias y saludos
