“Movies told me lies, but music told me the truth. I’m still trying to untangle the lies; it’s why I read history. And I’m still trying to understand the truths. Music taught me about being human.” The Year Before the Flood: A Story of New Orleans by Ned Sublette

Fresh off days of spirits judging with ADI, followed by back-to-back research trips in Vancouver and Nashville, I barely escaped snow and rainstorms to head home after one rich, full February.

Come join me in Peru! The deadline is mid-March to sign up for a culinary adventure in the Andes mountains’ town of Cusco (gateway to Machu Picchu), savoring the unique Asia-meets-South-America cuisine that is Peruvian food. I will be the host of a “dig deep” food tour this May, open to anyone, so please join us for what will be an unforgettable week. Details here at Adios Adventure Travel (more on my past food and pisco-making adventures in Peru here).
