Those then, are what I would say are the three real options for your other time in Peru: 1) Southern route 2) Iquitos and the Amazon 3) Chiclayo and Iquitos And, as others have said, Peruvian food is amazing, because the different climates allow for such regional variation and fusions. You ...

The other alternative, though, is to spend time north of Lima. We started our trip in Chiclayo, a pleasant city in the north, though without a lot of sights in the city itself. [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GN-iYbVWoAACWAK?format=jpg&name=4096x4096[/img] But just outside the city is the ...

You could also choose to go to Iquitos and spend several days at an Amazon River lodge. If so, then the choice of lodge is critical. Much of that area is not virgin rainforest, and I did not see the level of wildlife that I've seen elsewhere (such as Panama). But Iquitos itself is fascinating, ...

That's the plan: fire Bickerstaff and hire a coach Mitchell likes, trade Garland and Allen, and build around Mitchell and Mobley. Shams report in The Athletic made it perfectly clear that this is what management wants, and Mitchell has also made it clear that it's what he wants. So, I expect ...

Except that the idea that the US blew up Nord Stream is abysmally stupid. The Biden administration is so afraid of "escalation" that we lecture Ukraine about why they shouldn't hit Russian oil refineries. We set Ukraine up for losses in the Kharkiv region because Russia is allowed to mass forces i...

re: Zach Edey

Posted by GOP_Tiger on 5/18/24 at 3:59 pm
I think that Edey is like JV in that he has talent, but isn't a good fit with Zion. Edey is a post scoring threat, which we don't need when Zion is on the court, because Edey post-ups are likely not going to be better than Zion drives in terms of rim points production, and Zion works best without...
