Fantastic weather for February!
in Machu Picchu
I’d completely forgotten about this excellent photo taken by my buddy George Novak. We were two of the first few visitors in the gate this day … a few years ago.

Here’s another of George’s Machu Picchu pics.
THANKS George.
World Parrot Refuge, Coombs, B.C.
Boxing Day the McCharles clan headed for one of the highlights of Vancouver Island, the World Parrot Refuge.
The Refuge has over 800 parrots, a dedicated team of staff and volunteer carers, and 23,000 square feet of heated indoor free-flight aviaries with plans for 16,000 square feet of easily accessed outdoor flights for the warmer months. ..
It was a blast. Only $12 / person entrance fee.
Virtual Adoption is one way to sponsor a parrot. Another is to buy a parrot painting (VIDEO) … that’s a painting painted by a parrot, by the way.
The Year in Photos
Debris crushed a car outside the Christchurch Catholic Cathedral after an earthquake rocked Christchurch, New Zealand, on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. The 6.3-magnitude quake hit at the height of a busy workday, toppling tall buildings and churches, crushing buses and killing dozens of people in one of the country’s worst natural disasters.

more Sagada photos
Sagada is charming. Especially compared with the rest of the tourist mountain towns in the north of Philippines.
There’s a big legacy from Christian missionaries. In 1909 local tribes were still hunting heads!
A voluntary 9pm curfew. How about that?
