http://legacy.iranian.com/main/taxonomy/term/340/0 I was recently fortunate enough to take an 11-day trip to Peru and Ecuador. My visit to Peru was highlighted by a visit to Machu Picchu where the old Inca population had a horrendously bloody past. A generation of natives Incas were massacred by Spanish conquistadors for their gold and silver under the pretext of introducing Christianity (does it sound a little bit familiar?) to the natives. The visit to Ecuador was highlighted with a trip to the Galapagos archipelago. It is the birth place of Darwin's theory of evolution and subsequent publication of "On the Origin of Species"; a theory that has withstaood 150 years of scientific scrutiny. I hope you enjoy this photo essay (forgive me not a professional photographer) as much as I did taking the pictures. en http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15408 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:42 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15408 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15407 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:41 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15407 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15406 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:41 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15406 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15404 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:40 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15404 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15405 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:40 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15405 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15403 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:38 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15403 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15402 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:37 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15402 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15401 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:34 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15401 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15398 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:33 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15398 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15400 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:33 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15400 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15399 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:33 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15399 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15395 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:32 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15395 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15397 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:32 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15397 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15396 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:32 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15396 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15394 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:31 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15394 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15393 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:30 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15393 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15392 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:30 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15392 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15391 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:29 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15391 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15390 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:29 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15390 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main http://legacy.iranian.com/main/image/15389 Blood for gold Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:53:28 +0000 Jahanshah Javid 15389 at http://legacy.iranian.com/main
