I read in her book many years before that something about a community and a pilgrimage in the Bolivian Andes, in some kind of remote region in a town that many people haven't heard of. Leading up to that trip, I read from Victoria Preston, somebody who I know you've spoken to before about pilgrimages. Part of the mission for me during my sabbatical was to do research on mountain cultures, and you know, how people around the world think about mountains.
