Jim Murdoch introduced his grand daughter Caitlin Wilson. Caitlin completed a design degree at Victoria University majoring in project management. Caitlin moved to London to gain experience and travel. She worked on several high end restaurant renovations that required preservation of significant Roman ruins discovered during constuction. After travel in Europe Caitlin travelled to Central and South America. First to Chichen Itza - Mexico . Chichen Itza is one of the most significant and well-preserved ancient cities of the Maya civilization and is today a world heritage site. She then travelled to Peru and followed the Inca trail to Machu Piichu. She then visited Salar de Uyuni (Bolivian Salt Flats) and the Atacama Desert. Caitlin next stop was Buenos Aires before visiting the Iguassu Falls. From Iguassu Falls Caitlin went to Brazil and the historic town of Paraty. Paraty is a historic colonial town on Brazil’s Costa Verde. From here she went to Ilha Grande a tropical island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Then to Rio de Janeiro and finally Patagonia. Caitlin gave us a really fluent interesting talk about some of the history, architecture and food of the places she visited.
