Home My WebLink AboutZurich Citizens News, 1961-04-20, Page 71 THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1961 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Travelling Through South America (continued from page 3) the most outstanding experiences of our tour. Passing through val lays between volcanic mountains, one could see an occasional mud hut village, not a tree in sight, no vegetation whatever and how hu- man beings could exist is beyond one's imagination. We had a glimpse of the famous "Christ of the Andes" statue before reaching Santiago, Chili. The city is located in a beautiful strip of green land between the towering Andes and the Pacific ocean. It is an area of thriving crops and fine trees. The city has been destroyed many times by In- dian attacks and earthquakes, but is growing steadily as a modern city. Altitude Affects Brain Our next country to visit was Bolivia, famous for its bin and cop- per mines., It is a 'desodate-look- ing country from the air and only around the Lake Titicaca region is there enough rain to grow crops without irrigation. On arriving at La Paz, the high- est airport in the world, we were warned the high altitude would af- fect us. It - did! Located 12,000 feet above sea level, one can im- agine we would be light-headed. The city is built in the bottom of a deep canyon to provide shelter from the cold winds. The airport was small and runways were rough. In the distance we could see herds of sheep and Ilamas grazing, un- perturbed about the modern way of travel. Flying over beautiful Lake Tit- icaca, 120 miles long, and the rug- ged Andes, we arrived in the "City of Kings" at dusk. Liana, Peru, was founded in 1535 and for 300 years it was the largest and weal- thiest city in South America• During our four-day visit in this modern city, we were entertained by three Peruvian families whose daughters were Alma College classmates of our daughter. Being entertained in foreign homes is most interesting and their daily way of life is similar to our. One exception is the "siesta"—a two- hour rest period during the heat of the day—which is prevalent in South .American countries. Two Lima Tours There were two important tours out of Lima. The Cusco -Machu Picchu three-day trip by air. Cus- co is the ancient capital of the Inoe Indians and is 10000 feet above sea level. Machu Picchu has mag- nificent Inca ruins consisting of houses, temples and a cemetery. As these are located in the remote Andes mountains, the experinece was most thrilling. Then, a day trip to the Andes Highlands was pictureque and colorful. Mountain flowers and pine trees were everywhere. We met several herd of llamas, the beast of burden in the mountain areas. They are a most interesting animal, very proud, and have lov- ely soft fur in black, beige, grey or brown. We were on a night flight from Lima to Mexico City and arrived in the latter city at sunrise. A beautiful, modern airport, well equipped and splendid immigration officers awaited us. • Having been in Mexico two years ago, we stayed in the city for five days and did not tour the surroun- ding tourists' attractions. At leis- ure we toured the famous Chapult- epec Castle which overlooks the entire city. In Mexican, Chapul- tepec means grasshopper, thus the location is called "Grasshopper Hill." The castle was the official home of Emperor Maxmillian and Empress Carlotta. The ill-fated couple whose reign was very brief and troublesome were originally from Australia. As we passed over Detroit, the first sign of snow appeared and brought us back to the reality that Canada was having a winter season. South America is just beginning to enter the modern age. To act- ually see steel plants, power plants and factories as up-to-date as any in the world was amazing. Engin- eers from several parts of the world are spending years in the interior helping to modernize in- dustry. South America has always been called part of the New World, but it is just beginning to be new as Old World methods disappear. TOP PRICES PAID FOR' — • CREAM e EGGS • POULTRY Give Us A Call !

MILES, Agricultural Representative for Huron County) Very little, if any, seeding has taken place to date. Land was al- most ready last week, but further cool damp weather with skiffs of snow has curtailed operations—the odd field of sod has been plowed. There is very little growth in fall wheat and barley. Greater am- ounts of nitrogen are being used on wheat, barley and meadows than ever before. THANK YOU!!
