Amazon Ecosight

Greetings,

I work as a historic tour guide in Saint Augustine, Florida. Sometimes, I do research to develop new tours or stories for tours we already offer. About a year ago, I noticed in a bio that Lovecraft had visited Saint Augustine at some point. Since H. P. is known to have written a few travelogues, I was very interested in what sites he might have visited while here.

I purchased Miscellaneous Writings from Arkham House Publishing through Amazon. There are a few travelogues in here, but none of them mention his trip to Florida. I contacted Arkham about the remaining travelogues. The responce e-mail simply stated that they (Arkham) didn’t know where I could find the other travelogues.

Has anyone seen this information? If I could pin-point the title of the correct travelogue, I would at least have a chance of hunting down a copy to buy or borrow.

As far as I know Lovecraft never wrote a travelogue containing reference to Florida. However, his story ‘The Thing on the Doorstep’ is set in Florida. His long-lost manuscript of ‘Shadow out of Time’ was rewritten and transcribed by his friend Robert Barlow in Florida but contains no mention of the state.

Long live Camel Trophy. This is the 1989 event in Amazon, it is a 1,500klm trip with lots of mud and water.

I am a 22 year old california guy who has saved up and am selling my car to break free of work and school to run off to an exotic place and I’m completely torn on the two.

I’ve been doing reaserch on both places and so far both destinations have what I’m looking for…
Thailand: Cheap, beautiful beaches, freindly to Americans, somewhat safe to lone travellers, great night life(full moon ceremonies), cool lookin tours… but I heard the culture is way different and It’s easy to accidently offend someone (touch their head, point at your feet?)

Brazil: Not as cheap as Thailand but less than the states, has the beaches, people are warm and welcoming (plus blonde haird Americans are exotic I hear true?), geourges women (Im single), highest rated nightlife(rio, new year, carnival), amazon tours… but I’m told that travelling alone there can be chancy and not many speak eglish (eu falo um pouco)
think I’ll have enough money to live for a while in either places then (work?)

hello jordan.. i’m from brazil and i think you commit a little mistake by classifying this country as exotic… it’s a western coutry after all. moreover, there are lots of blonde people in south brazil, as it was colonized mostly by northern italians, slavs and germans.

anyway, indeed brazilians tend to like foreigners, you probably will be able to make many friends.. but take care, there are lots of scumbags of both sexes. many women like americans and wish to marry them, not all are sluts… some are honest who like foreigners and want a better place to live , but be careful. indeed few people can understand english, especially spoken english (i’m one of those who barely can understand spoken english, if said in a fast pace). concerning working, you can work as an english teacher, maybe many schools hire a native speakers.

about violence, i think it’s no SO serious… avoiding drug dealers is a must, obviously.

by the way, amazon, iguaçu falls, rio de janeiro, and other nice places are all far apart from each other, so you will need to travel a lot.

good luck

The Puruchuco site in Lima has been left in a good state of preservation, but has faced its share of controversy.

This is due to the influence of Dr. Arturo Jiménez Borja who was chosen to lead the reconstruction of the archaeological buildings.

Between 1953 and 1960 he directed works at the site, consolidating some walls, reconstructing others and positioning roofs.

He founded an on site museum, considered a pioneer of this type of institution at archaeological sites in Peru.

He was dedicated to the preservation and study of the area, and organized cultural events that promoted the monument to the public.

Sightseers view the ruins from a series of terraces constructed in stages on the peak near the site, from which they can see a panoramic view of the complex.

The restoration integrated the ancient buildings, and filled them with the artificial lights and sound systems typical of a modern cultural space.

When these works were completed they were heavily criticized from within the scientific and archaeological community,
They argued that the works had not been publicized prior to reconstruction, and damaged the heritage value of the site.

This might explain why the Puruchuco complex was not always counted highly in archeological studies.
But the discovery of more than a thousand Inca burial bundles in the last decade has reignited archaeological interest in the site, with the National Geographic Society funding efforts to protect the burial grounds from damage caused by the shanty town of Tupac Amaru that has sprung up next to and in some cases on top of the excavations.
