A local chief's personal necklace. Typical beads, stones and bones sourced in accordance of tradition then put together forming a beautiful work of art. This from Ecuador Amazonia Yantzaza the area of the Fire Flys. A gift to me for good fortune going forward and thanks for the help provided to the community. Would entertain a buyer of Unique Collectibles.

BEAT DOWN Pandemic Destruction in Tourism
Missing those fantastic barbeques in Texas? Tennessee? Georgia? Argentina? Armenia? Anywhere?
The Pandemic identified as a virus generated in China and not clearly identified to the World has created misery, dispair, economic destruction, suspicion, and divide around the world. Let's face it. Nobody has a handle on it. All the rhetoric by so called scholars, Medical Gurus et al has shown squat. The Pandemic rages. Vaccine maybe on the horizon. Efforts to curtail the virus fails. Shutdowns are killing people from more maladies than the Virus itself. In the Tourism Industry it is economic death. Small operators that make up most of the Industry around the world have gone out of business are are attempting to hang on with Government financial assistance. Won't work. The governments do not have enough money to keep failing Mom and Pop attractions, restaurants, resorts, hotels and airlines alive. This is serious stuff. Having been in this business for over fifty years never has there been such an attack on human potential. It is becoming a wasteland. Politicians are fools. The Guru's have mostly proven incompetent. The individual has better sense than the Morons leading the not so good defeat of this killer Virus. I put my bets on the individuals to rise above. Yes many will die but we will prevail. Tourism will return but don't look for it to stabilize until about 2024. In the mean time. Help your family, your neighbour cope. Life has changed for ever. Politicians need to eat their own. They have proven worthless. China needs to be held accountable. This was clearly no accident. It was an assault on the World's economy. So far looks like they are getting away with it. Not in my camp.

TRAVELSAPIEN EXPERIENTAL TRAVEL
Financially it will change the face of International interaction with fellow human beings. For many decades travelers have felt immune from serious killer viruses however this is a wake up call. There is always going to be a new death threat to our species. Stay alert. Stay safe. See you soon out and about in some land somewhere.
