Traveling!

It has been a long time since I have written anything here... I've been traveling this year. Lets start from the beginning of the year, I came back from Peru on January 1st 2008.

I brought back some wonderful beads from Peru. Primarily Serpentine, some Cryscolla (Peruvian Turquoise) as well as stones I just picked up off the ground.

Here is a picture of the beads I bought at the base of Machu Picchu:



I'll be turning them into necklaces soon.

Peace!
