Michael Simon said...: Hey all,

We just arrived in Puno late last night. Cuzco to Puno is uaully a 6 hour trip by bus, it took us 30 hours due to protests against FTAA/TLC. The protestors broke a couple of our bus windows. Good times.

Thanks Molly, Mom, and Mary.

Terrence, I have been noticing that a lot of LA smells like pee. I think it has something to do with the 15 men we see everyday peeing where ever they stand. During the protest, every where you looked some dude was peeing on somehting...

I cannot believe we spent 2 weeks in Cuzco!; 5/27/2006 2:07 PM
Rich said...: Great trekking pictures. Love the one with a pool... I'm sure it must have been nice to relax in it after a long day's trek;) Was it a hot spring???; 5/27/2006 5:35 PM
michael Simon said...: hey rich,

thanks!

It was a hot spring, and it was great to:

1. relax after hiking many KMs
2. wash off the thick layer of dirt and sweat.

My first hot spring experience was a nice one.; 5/27/2006 9:47 PM
