                    <description> whoa with the snow melting and weather warming the citizen's of Kelowna have turned their backs on the winter sport of skiing and hauled out their golf clubs for a long summer season. Buds are budding bees are buzzing birds are chirping and Instead of golf clubs I've opted for my mountain bike and climbing shoes next stop bathing suit and have been exploring the huge Okanagan Mountain Park</description>

                    <description>For those that aren't aware of my current surroundings I have found a job car and place to live in Kelowna British Columbia.  I'm working at a longterm care facility as an O.T where my responsibilities are but not limited to making those at the end phase of their life more comfortable independent and hopefully happy.  It's a great fit and I typically end my days refreshed and ready for </description>

                    <description>My last day in Lima means my last day in South America.  Ive seen done and experienced too much to sum it up in one entry but suffice it to say this trip has been completely perfect.  Sure there were problems there always are and surviving problems always help in making experiences memorable but there were few problems and the timing could not have been better.  2 months was a perfect leng</description>

                    <description>Father husband zoologist conservationist adrenaline junkie and famous entertainer Steve Irwin died today having been pierced by a Sting Rays 25 centimeter barb in his heart while filming an ironically titled Oceans Deadliest documentary off the northern Great Barrier Reef.  Rest in peace.</description>

                    <description>This place should be on the top places to visit in Peru if it isnt already.  Huacachinas charm weather and attitude have been just a few of the reasons for my extended stay.  Here I sleep in eat a hearty american breakfast by the pool in my bathing suit tuck in and check emails etc when the sun is at its hottest around 1011am given the proximity to the equator and in the afternoo</description>

                    <description>A ruin is a boys dream house.  When my family and I travelled to England and France way back in the early 90s I got the same feelings as Ive been having here the freedom and imagination that ruins inspire the daydreaming the history the exercise the bouldering....i logged some serious hours at both Oyattaytambo and Machu Piccu and liked them both equally and enormously.   From Cuzco </description>

                    <description>Warning this is a rather large entry.  You might want to take it slow.My train left in the morning 6am and I bought some choclo con queso corn with a slice of cheese from a lady selling at the platform.  The train took 2 hours or so and I sat across from a French family whose daughter bought a beautiful boquet of flowers at one of the stops.  The sweet girl gave me one of the flowers wh</description>

                    <description>Ah Cusco I have been reading and hearing of its allure but really you cant feel it until you are here.  I arrived at the bus station late having shared half of my seat and all of his with an extremely large and unfortunately quite belligerent American tourist.  He and his 6 children were doing peru and were full of complaints whining about the most ridiculous things and listening to</description>

                    <title>Puno</title>
                    <description>I thought Puno would be a good halfwayish point between copacabana and cusco.  I stayed one night had a good one taking advantage of the one free drink almost thrown at gringos passing by.  In the morning I took a bicycle taxi down to the harbour to leave for the Isles Flotantes the floating islands also known as the Uros.  Still thoroughly enjoying Hugh Thompsons the white rock a </description>

                    <description>I arrived in Copacabana rather late found a cheap hotel booked my tour to the Isle del Sol supposedly the first Inca settlement for the morning and found a restaurant that specialized in the local dish lake trout.  Copacabana marks my first sight of real water since Buenos Aires back in early July and I am amazed by the size and similarity Lake Titicaca has to an ocean.  This is the worlds</description>

                    <description>La Paz has been great and certainly one of the best cities Ive visited.  Amazing restaurants RamJam especially interesting museums tons of history and a spectacular geographical setting.  I will miss the constant chatter of the micro busses passing with the incoherent Bolivian screaming the various locations his ride services.

                    <title>La Paz</title>
                    <description>Bolivia is home to the worlds most dangerous road a gravel deathpath made famous from its 1000 foot drops and catastrophic accidents.  Last Sunday for example a bus with 50 people went over the edge unbeknownst to the sleeping driver who I doubt felt a thing.  No one survived and they were fishing the bodies out until Tuesday lining them up for inspection along the side of the road as tou</description>

                    <description>Im in Sucre now having shared a taxi from Potosi with a lovely German couple.  The drive from Potosi was beautiful from arid high plateau to eucalyptus trees and green parks.  Sucre is the other capital city of Bolivia holding the legislative and judicial branches of government La Paz being the other having the executive branch.  Sucre has a famous university and a real college down feel</description>

                    <description>I arrived late in Potosi and climbed into a classic Bolivian taxia Starky  Hutch inspired muscle car painted bassboat style in iridescent red and grey.  The driver had officially the worlds largest cheekfull of coca leaves and he bombed me up to the hotel san antonio where I climbed into a warm bed.  15 minutes later I forced myself out of bed to experience some culture.   Myself and thre</description>

                    <description>The worlds largest salt flats lie on top of an enormous lake 12 meters at its deepest.  The salt here it toxic and needs to be refined iodine added before you eat it.  The flats are just outside the town of Uyuni and for 120 bolivianos you can join a one day tour.  I recommend Cristal tours who were very professional and who supplied an awesome lunch of fried llama meat salads pasta and a</description>

                    <description>I arrived in Tilcara Jujuy late at night having luckily made a reservation at the beautiful Hostel Malka.  After walking around at night of a very unfamiliar place I found the hostel and settled in for a nap before I found some grub.  And grub did I find  A huge steak 4 empanadas pastry filled with spicy meat cheese or egg famous in this part of argentina and a  litre of wine.  The resta</description>

                    <description>The trek north from Malargue Mendoza province to Salta City Salta province was epic.  I opted for 1st class and comfortably appreciated the beautiful drive along the andes to the north of Argentina.  I arrived 2  days later in Salta found a decent hostel and took a nap.  Salta is the best preserved colonial town in Argentina with beautiful streets parks and cafs.  I visited two museu</description>
