puno

20 September 2006

i'm in Puno now at the hotel after a few days in Cusco. i just got sick last night, altitude related i think, big headache, started around when i stopped taking the diamox. we had a 6 hour bus ride today and i didn't feel very good, although the views were incredible of the surrounding mountains of the altiplano. Cusco was wonderful, major culture shock! it's so peaceful and friendly and there are so many native peruvians around... i really enjoyed simply wandering the streets. and i slept a lot - which i need to do more of now.
