that´s the sign that´s up in this internet cafe. love it. i´m in puno. spent a lot of time on trains, combis and busses today - from aguas calientes to ollantaytambo to somewhere inbetween to cusco to get my stuff from storage to puno.
tomorrow the touristy floating islands then to the bolivian side of lake titicaca. i hear isla del sol is beautiful and i really want to go but also i really want to get my ass to the beach and lie there for days.
a couple things i forgot to mention about the trail:
- the food was fucking fantastic. i am currently in a state of withdrawal. also, how´s this for hard core camping, they woke us up at the buttcrack of dawn every day with a cup of coca tea delivered to the tent.
- i climbed huayna picchu in 33 minutes, it´s supposed to take 40. proud of self, considering how much i lagged behind previously.
- i have started speaking sporadically with an australian/british accent. not on purpose.
today i wandered around ollantaytambo a little and came accross some locals sitting on the side of the road hanging out. they invited me to drink warm beer out of the bottom of their communal cup and of course i couldn´t say no. they were celebrating this woman´s birthday. it was random. the one guy was very insistent that i tell him what beers they have in the united states and he couldn´t seem to understand that there were more than i could possibly ever name. i tried to answer more questions then i bought them another beer and went on my way.
bed calls.

haha i started to break out into a brit accent too my first few weeks hanging out with all of those guys since that was all the english i heard! and i did it well, too, which makes me sad cause i can't do it anymore.
