Names of visitors wanting to leave their little bit of legacy scratched into walls of an ancient Incan temple in Perú. I was curious about how literally hundreds of people got away with defacing a historical archeological site. I commented about my surprise to the unofficial guide and he sort of shrugged about it. Then I asked if I’d be able to scratch my own name in the wall and he looked over his shoulder and said in a hushed tone; “there’s a good spot”, pointing to one of the few untainted bricks. I didn’t write my name but the mystery was solved. Paramonga
