Greetings from Huaraz, Peru! I’m doing the Friday Flakes this week because yesterday I was finishing up the 4-day Santa Cruz trek through the Cordillera Blanca Mountain Range. It rained a lot on the first two days but the views still made the trek more than worth it. Anyways I’m not going to talk a lot about Peru this week. With Thomas Cook going bankrupt this week, I think the perfect time to talk about the future of travel agencies. If that’s not your cup of tea, there are plenty of great articles to read in today’s flakes.
I remember as a kid going to the local AAA and flipping through the Rand McNally Atlas of the US States while my parents picked up the latest regional guidebooks and TripTiks for the next big road trip.
