Short and Sweet

I owe a whole blog on Uyuni, Copacobana, Lake Titicaca, and the Inti Reymi Festival in Cusco but that will come later (I have fabulous stories I promise but my time is weak). I´m currently off to Chile, sadly leaving my cusco crew... actually very very sad. I will meet up with a few of them in days to come, but not all. Just in case Im out of contact for a week or so, here are my travel plans!! I will be catching my first sofa cama (160 deg) ever tonight to Arequipa! Ive only takin the terrible "semi camas" where im so short I can´t sit in it without sliding to the bottom (such a hard life). But seriously... I may consider splurging from here on out if it works out. So yes, I bus to Arequipa (again) and onto Tacna and again switch to cross the border (probably a full 20 hours of 3 buses - but one really really nice one!). Ill stay a night in the hippy hostel "Sunny Days" in Arica, Chile before jumping yet another night bus to San Pedro de Atacama - a desert in northern Chile where i hope to find a hostel with amazing hammocks and sunshine before heading further south (ie cold, colder, butt cold). I plan on visiting that city for a day or so and maybe jump on a sand board for half a day. Ill update my phone number come the bus to Salta, Argentina Fam!! Oh and Aunt Joyce Ive sent a package to your house containing some bulky things that are unecessary as I bought a down jacket. I might get home before it gets to you...
Love Tessa
