Day 44
I slept for ten hours last night, but I still was out of it when I woke up. Once again, I had to force myself to eat, and all I had was a piece of bread, coffee, and banana juice. I thought about laying in bed all day, but… Read More »

Day 43
I was extremely tired after last night's bus ride, but I still thought I should try to eat something, so I went out to breakfast with Julien and Matthieu. All I ordered was bread with butter and jam, but I could barely eat any of it. I wasn't quite… Read More »

Day 42
Early this morning, Matthieu, Julien, and I walked to the bus station to buy our tickets out of town. The bus we will be taking has seats that recline into full beds, and the 13-hour overnight ride will only cost $7.50 each. It's crazy how cheap things are here.

Day 41
Today, Diego, Lloyd, Matthieu, Julien, and I decided to go to the Tiahuanaco ruins. First, we got on one of the "combi" bus-vans which drove us for an hour to the general area of the ruins. Next, we walked about fifteen minutes to the entrance. We… Read More »

Today I headed out of Copacabana with Matthieu and Julien from France, who I had met on my two-day island tour around Puno. We rode on a small bus with only tourists. This was not the type of luxury bus to which I… Read More »

Day 39
My hostel is the cheapest place I've stayed at so far ($2.50 per night), but it's also in a bad location. There are several bus companies nearby, so people continuously shout "La Paz" right outside my window as soon as the sun rises. Also, the curtains in my room… Read More »

Day 38
The bus to Copacabana left early, so I only was able to get three hours of sleep last night. Luckily, it was the most comfortable bus I had ridden in so far with nice seats and plenty of legroom, so I had no problem falling asleep almost as soon… Read More »
About a week ago, Rohit asked some interesting questions. I don't think everyone will see the answers if I responded by commenting, so I'll create an entry just for the answers.
1) what people(hostel and places you visit) think of US of A?
Generally, most of the travelers I have met don't have a… Read More »

Day 37
After sleeping so much yesterday, I woke up shortly after sunrise. I had a small breakfast, said goodbye to my host family, and got back onto the tour boat. Amantani was a tranquil place with a great view of the lake, but I was still glad… Read More »

Day 36
Today I started my two-day-long tour of some of the islands on Lake Titicaca near Puno. Not really knowing what to expect, I stocked up on water, packed a few essential supplies, and took a short bus trip to the lake, where I boarded a boat with twenty five… Read More »
