Our intrepid boy

I feel compelled to write a post in praise of our wonderful little traveller, who has been so adaptable and made this trip such a joy so far. We're putting him through all sorts of trials - cold, jet lag, long days, sixteen layers of clothes, American food - and he has taken everything we've thrown at him with perfect (well, toddler-perfect) grace, and at the same time enhanced our experience by his enthusiasm and joy, not to mention how he has helped us connect with the locals. And even yesterday when he had a meltdown in the car that forced us to pull over and comfort him, he chose this spot to do it:

Oscar did not recognise Poldy sitting on the floor with the book. He did recognise him dancing to the Andean music. Perhaps Poldy has an unmistakable dancing style. That waterscape where you stopped during the meltdown - wondering if that's the dam I saw when Simon drove me up to San Francisco. Just come off the phone speaking to you at Jola's.

I think it probably was the same dam - I think it was the San Luis Reservoir. You're not wrong about Poldy's dancing style - I have more video of him getting down in other locations that I hope to upload one day.
