Blogging at warp speed....

OK... so where did I leave off? I was in Areiquipa, Peru, and then went to Cuzco to see Macchu Picchu. Did it. It was awesome. You´ll have to wait to see the pictures. Tried to go to Bolivia. But there was a strike. Jumped on a plane for the short ride to La Paz. Got into La Paz, and headed straight to Copacabana. Went to the beautiful Isla del Sol, spent the night there, and then returned to La Paz. Biked the ¨World´s most dangerous road¨. Took a ridiculous 16 hour bus ride down into the jungle. Saw more alligators and capybaras than I could count. Took a puddle jumper back to La Paz. Stayed in a brewery hostel. Saw lots of llama fetuses. (Joyously) watched a black man become POTUS. Brewed beer. Went to Potosí to see the silver mines (crazy place). Blew stuff up. Went through the desert on a horse with no name (just kidding, it was actually a 4D/3N 4WD tour from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile). Saw geysers, flamingos, and sat on top of my guitar in the salt flats. Climbed a 19,500 ft volcano. Took a 24 hour bus ride to Santiago. Picked up Katie at the airport. Stayed at a party hostel with lots of Americans. Drank some good wine. Biked around the city. Met James´ friend Carolina (now my friend!). Got on a bus to Pucon. Rented a car. Drove for the fist time in 3 months. Went to hot springs. Climbed an active volcano. Skied it. Now going to Isla Chiloé. Then on a boat for 4 days. Then towers. Or Torres, as they are called here. Then to the city of good air.
