Then and now

Hola amigos,

We got to Copacabana, Bolivia this morning.. Despite some teensy issues at the border (that may have necessitated a kickback or two in the form of cash-money), we made it.. We decided to stay here for 3 nights instead of 1 as originally planned. Then its off to La Paz and back to hectic city life.

Anyway, since I wasn´t able to include much in the last blog besides Machu Picchu, this one is going to be made up of random pictures from Peru a few days back and we will do a separate Copacabana blog..

Paz,

S&S

protest in the square
ollantaytambo- we were up on the mountain watching the action go down. the peasants are hardcore, they closed off roads using boulders, trash fires, and broken glass. effective method, the governemnt caved

typical breakfast- 5 bucks for both of us
omelette, fresh squeezed juice of choosing, coffee, bread butter and jam. this was a higher end place with real coffee instead of instant! well worth the extra dough

the new age peruvian sounds ...
prompted stephen to groooove through breakfast. love that peruvian mountian flute

bus to cusco from ollantaytambo
can you see us?

head cheese (its not really cheese)
so we tried it.. in sandras opinion, it was salty, peppery, and a lot like eating an eraser with little harder bits of eraser in it. stephen liked it though, in all its gelatinous and crunchy goodness.

the densest bread pudding ever
we usually have a full breakfast and lunch, and then for dinner we either hit up snack stalls, or a bakery and do dessert for dinner, which suits sandra just fine. shown is some bread pudding that was heavier than my head. a bit bland, but yes filling

this guy is pissed
he had to lug us and our bags to the bolivian border, pedaling a 3 wheeled bike contraption. in the end, he couldn´t make it up the last hill, so we got out and walked, but still gave him a generous tip. he tried..

1 You call that thing an omolet? It looks lke a peice of egg with bacon on it. btw, why didn't you just rent a car instead of making that poor man drag you and all your luggage through the border. Talk about rude Americans. tsk...tsk..

bicycle man
hey hey hey, he practically forced us into his bike when we got off the bus. without us, he had no business!! It was only like a mile long ride, so dont feel too bad for him!
