Blog writing sucks

Alright well that really really sucked. I just spent all morning writing a really detailed account of everthing we had been doing but it turned out that Noah was signed into his google account when I tried to post it so everything got deleted. So sorry everyone. I´m not about to spend another three hours rewritting that because I´m really frustrated but basically

La Paz
July 3
.lots of markets, fruit venders, veggie venders, padlock venders, touristy venders, llama fetus venders
.overwhelming and beautiful
.had tea with this funny old lady who made us coca tea and talked to us for a while about how much she hates her dead sister and them peruvians
July 4
.picked a mountain and decided to walk towards it to get a view of the city
.walked through the central government plaza where there were a lot of cute kids being really uncoordinated
.walked through all the houses perched on the mountain
.600 winding steps until the base of the mountain
.saw a macaw parrot, a bunny, lots of dogs, and a duck
.had picnic, macramae, and reading material
.beautiful beautiful beautiful
.decided to go to the top top before the sun went down, noticed that a lot of the grass and bushes were burned
.at the top really sketchy broken down houses, no people, lots of trash, and immediately the dogs started freaking out at us
.wicked bad vibes, turned around right away but the dogs didn´t stop barking
.three young teenages boys started following us down, setting the path on fire as they went
.we were really freaked out, really feeling that we´d pushed our luck and starting to feel more like the dogs were trying to warn us to stay away rather than to be protective
.got down the mountain as quickly as we could which took a long time because all the rocks were loose and steep
.went to an internet cafe and found out if was fourth of July, went out to a Mexican place with some friends that we had met from California, really really good

July 5
.packed up our stuff to go to Copacabana and Lake Titicaca and ran into Sarah and Ana and her Cordobese boyfriend from my study abroad program, how cool
.so we spent a few hours with them and then went on
.Lake Titicaca is the most beautiful place I´ve ever been in my life
.stayed in a really sweet hostel on the shore, 10 minute walk from town
.we had our own cabin, bathroom, and shared kitchen for 2.80 dollars a night
.with the three other people staying there, an argentinian girl and two french guys we went to go find some wood for a fire
.amazing beautiful night sky, felt so round and encompasing
.one clear clear planet reflecting off the lake, and the milky way was stunning
.the wood we picked up was Eucalyptus so our fire smelled amazing
.Madu (the french guy) had a saxaphone, a sitar like instrument, this box thing that makes "om" sounds, and a charrango so we played a lot of music
.according to Madu Lake Titicaca is the earth´s 7th chakrah, which if i did believe that the earth is a living being would seem totally accurate, it was really really beautiful which is saying something because I dont even like water, Madu is also one of the funniest people we have ever met, he traveled for 6 years in India and wears really funny wrap around clothes, also he doesn´t walk, he prances.

July 6
.i got really really sick from an empanada that i ate in La Paz, was really sick all day
.read a lot, ate papaya and yogurt
.at night asked about going to the hospital, the woman at the hostel made me an herbal remedy instead which tasted like cilantro
.then gave me a small mug of melted spiced chocolate (clearly she´s read Harry Potter, or has seen Princess Bride)
.i felt completely better after that miraculously
.that night Noah got sick

July 7
.apparently papaya and yogurt together make your body flush everything, good to know
.chilled out the rest of the day but Noah was feeling way better by that evening cause he has a kick ass immune system
. we went to this hostel called "Sol y Luna" which we heard was really cool
. it was this Hare Krishna guy´s birthday (I still don´t know his name) and there were about 10 of us (two little kids)
.by the way there are a ton of Hare Krishna people here, there are also randomly a ton of fried chicken places
.the food was really good, home made wheat bread with humus and cake with roses petals and nuts
.everyone was really wierd like trying to be really cool and relaxed with everthing but really just so hilariously serious about everthing needing to be "chill"
.the Hare Krishna guy was the funniest, he was so up tight about being relaxed!
. we were playing music cause we had brought our guitar and he kept making everyone stop if someone who didn´t know that much about music was trying to join in, including the kids which was really funny cause they were just trying to keep rythem with the drums but didn´t really get it yet and he kept getting so mad hahaa
. it was really silly and he just could not handle anyone playing anything other than a really slow reggae beat, he just completely lost it
.i really wanted dumbledore to come in and say something really awesome and ridiculous
.then the Hare Krishna guy asked everyone to pass around an invisible key and unlock a door to whatever
. everyone said stuff like, i´m unlocking the door to...LOVE! or PEACE!
.we figured out that it was probably because since in Amherst we´re the children of hippies when you say something like "I´m unlocking the door to love" like you´re saying something really profound, its a bit like, ummm yess goood one, loovee
.it was simply ridiculous and i vow never to take myself so seriously
.i just hope it doesn´t have too much impact on the kids...

July 8
.got up early to go to the isla del sol
.INCREDIBLE, i´ve never seen nature be so sureal
.crazy colors on all sides, and the crazy pushing pulling high atitude feeling made it a nuts experience
.wow
.surrounded on all sides by the beautiful waters which had long white and black streaks of water, poofy white clouds with snow capped mountains on one side, colorful rocks jutting up out of the water on the other
.and the atitude is just crazy, its like the sky is pulling, sucking, and pushing all at the same time, no wonder the incans thought the gods were angry and wanted more blood
.we´d be walking and suddenly everthing was bright white rock, or red rocks, completely orange, yellow, even at one point turqoise
.beautiful beautiful beautiful
.saw a bunch of ruins, sacred rock "shaped like a crouching puma" where they did a lot of child sacrificing
.legond is that the sun was born on la isla del sol and then ordered that the first Incas be born
.original name Titi´kharka which means Puma Rock but the spanish heard as Titicaca
.BEAUTIFUL!! AND CRAZY LOOKING!
.bolivians have been really manipulative and never rest from trying to trick us into giving them more and more and more and more money
.ok then we just had a quiet night reading and stuff

July 9
.ran into Emiliano and this guy Rama that he´s traveling with and so we all bought tickets to Puno, Peru together also with two of the other people staying in our hostel and two of their friends, together we are five nationalities
.our party of eight got into Puno and decided to go see the floating islands in Lake Titicaca
.always see that stuff in national geographic but it was wicked cool to go into their houses and really be there
.basically the Incans came and a bunch of people fled to the lake in reed boats with their families but every eight months about the reeds would start to deteriorate and so they would just put more and more reeds on top
.their boats got bigger and bigger until they were more like small islands, then families started sharing boat/islands and yeah that´s what went down
.the ground felt like Kidsports
.went out to dinner, 4 soles each (1.50 dollars) for soup, pasta with meat sauce, tea, and really good "i have no idea what this is" desert
.got to Cuzco at 4 oclock this morning
.showered for the first time since Argentina
.wrote this blog for four and a half hours!
