Oblivion ??? ….. Bolivia !!!!

Just wanted to get back in touch…. I have sooooo much to catch up on.

The last two weeks have just flown by…. after the incredible bike ride, I had a week of Inca education - at Lake Titicaca, Isla del Sol, Cuzco and environs, and, the climax, Machu Picchu !!! I got to share that week with some very wonderful people I`ve met along the way. I have pages of notes and some information books to consult, for a more detailed account; and, hundreds of photos to share. Stay tuned….

I got to Lima, which is a great big city that offered a return to “civilization” - morning coffee at Starbucks, lunch at KFC, and dinner at Pizza Hut. I passed on my last opportunity to sample the Peruvian favourite cuy ( roasted guinea pig). The flight over the Nazca Lines in a 6-seater plane was another incredible thrill.

I am now in Buenos Aires enjoying the mid-winter weather - it`s a cool cloudy day in the low teens celsius…. quite comfortable for someone who knows a real winter. I`m wandering the central downtown area today…. lots to see & take in. Planning on a good steak dinner and Tango show tonight. Two more days here before my final highlight - Iguazu Falls. And then back “home” to Cochabamba next Thursday. By the way, I got word that the Minisitry of Education DID extend the holiday because of the cold and now the plans I left for the substitute teacher are ready for me to use when school resumes on the 14th (unless it`s still too cold). That`s a bonus.

Hope everyone back home is enjoying the summer and vacation.  Take care.

Hablamos pronto.
