Hello!
It´s been awhile since I´ve typed much of anything, so the time has come for a bit of an update. Right now we´re all really high, but don´t worry Mom, it´s not what you think! We are all quite safe and sound in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Besides political instability (Bolivia has averaged more than one change of government per a year since inception), the country is known for having the world´s "highest everything". We are now in the world´s highest capital city (3600 meters) featuring the world´s highest airport. We just traveled from lake Titicaca, the world´s highest navigable lake. We are literally quite "high" 24-7...
Most of these photos from Arequipa are from the famous Convent in town.
Here's the photos of Macchu Picchu, also known as the world's most photogenic place.I'm getting really behind in posting these - we're actually across the boarder in Boliva now! So many stories to tell, some involving near death! Maybe in La Paz, as the Internet here in Copacabana is pretty pricey and slow. Enjoy. There's also a heck of a lot more photos of Macchu Piccu that I didn't post here for those of you who don't mind repetition.
A large part of being away from home for a few months is doing things that you would normally never do. Or at least things that your girlfriend wont let you do... like growing beards. It´s turned into a bit of a contest, so here´s the photos from the 14th of our progress after 10 days. Another "checkup" is scheduled for the end of this month. Some advance warning for all of you pulling for Jeremy: don´t get your hopes up for this underdog!
