Tue. 10th Aug.

The conference was going well. Met up with Neeraj Shah, a medical student from Kings in London who had a poster presentation.

Dropped into a museum in the centre of town to visit Juanita the Ice Maiden. She is a 500 year old Inca mummy whose body was discovered at 5,000 m. on Ampato a nearby volcano in 1995.

Lunch in a French restaurant had been arranged with John McCall my Glaswegian/Canadian/Orthopod friend from the Annapurna trip. We settled in for the afternoon.

By the evening John was accompanying Bryan, the American guitar player, on the harmonica.
