CUSCO, Peru, Security at the Peruvian historical site of Machu Picchu has been increased after a recent string of streakers invading the centuries-old Inca citadel.
Late last year, guards arrested two male tourists who were caught streaking at the site. More recently, a video of a couple streaking at Machu Picchu went viral on YouTube, prompting others to follow suit, The Guardian newspaper in London reported Friday.
Ricardo Ruiz Caro, Peru's new regional director of culture, announced recently that park guards will increase surveillance to "avoid these unfortunate events that threaten cultural heritage."
Inca gods are such homophobes.
Freaks ruin it everywhere. .....even at 9000 feet in the mountains.
My memory was faulty. I would like to correct an earlier statement. The taller peak on the right is not Intihuatana, 'The Hitching Post of the Sun'. It is actually in the foreground on the left as shown in the following photo.
I grew up on my grandfather's stories of his travels around the world both before and after WWI. Even though he was an American, he served as a doctor in the British Army in the war. His hospital received a personal commendation from King George V. I have the original. He rode the Trans Siberian Railway through the middle of the Russian Civil War. He met my grandmother in China even though he was from Boston and she was from Chicago. I could write a book but he already did.

Nice! I’ll bet your family has had some great conversations about your grandfather’s papers.
Mental illness has become rampant

That was me and my wife of 32 years.
