Comments
barbara: for all the dryness of the Paracas desert, it is still surprising to find life htere, including plants eeking out an existance, lizards, anything that flowers implies there must be insects or some other organism to poliinate. We even saw a pelican along the coast (of which I have a phot but did not post).
