Mama Dextre Washing Clothes the Old Fashioned Way















This creek is fed by the swiftly shrinking glaciers of the Cordillera Blanca above the village of Vicos in Ancash, Peru.  The Mountain Institute, Andes Branch, graciously allowed me to live with the Dextre family, where I met the ultimate challenge to my potato-loving Irish genes. . . more potatoes in more varieties than anywhere else in the world. 


And yes, we washed and drank out of this creek ;)
