Hola todos!
Well, I have departed Bolivia and am in Cusco, now, which is apparently a good thing, because this here body don´t like no altitude! I am doing ok, but have had a variety of health issues this week in Bolivia, some of which you just don´t want/need to hear about! I am on antibiotics and hopefully being a little bit lower here will help, as well. If you want to hear more details, shoot me an email. Thanks to my mom for coming through with some sound recommendations, and to the late night pharmacies in South America where the pharmacist is as good (if not better) than a doctor and where you can just pick up whatever you need on the spot!
The Salt Flats of Uyuni were amazing! It is like nothing else you have ever seen. Not just the Salt Flats, but the other beautiful areas in the Altiplano of Bolivia. Like being on the moon. We were at some mighty high altitudes...sometimes up to 5,000 meters (try converting that... it is over 14, 500 or something crazy) I will have to write properly about that soon. I am at an internet cafe in Cusco, and they are closing up... which is my cue to get some much needed rest. I did indeed take a 12 hour bus from La Paz to Cusco today...ah! But needed to avoid flying so it was ok.
I meet my good friend Veronica here tomorrow morning, as well as her friends Dustin and Divakar. Divakar will be my sole travel buddy post January 3rd. We have plans to hit the Peruvian Amazon region from Jan 3-6th and continue on from there to Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and Colca Canyon. My return flight to the US is on Jan. 15th
Look for more details on the Bolivian people, the Salt Flats and my tour group, led by Luis Mario and his wife Leonidas, and his 1986 Land Cruiser named ´Tarantula´, and about the 12 hour bus ride to Cusco.
Besos todos -- hope you all had a great Christmas/Hannukah!
Miss Michele
