"I traveled to Peru at a time of life when nothing was right; it is true that compared to most, I am fortunate in all aspects of life.  However, every life, has moments of despair.  Every life, has moments of abandonment.  Every life, has a desire to be examined.  It was in such a time, that I traveled to Peru.  I won't say I found myself; the search is not over.  But what I did find, was a renewed sense of unknown self.  The rhythm, the colors, the people of this country, were simple in their kindness.  And gentle kindness was all I've ever sought out of life; Thank you Peru.  For you, I will continue to work hard, to offer the simple things I've taken for granted." - Beatrice Pitocco
