Ah Peru a land of mountains, cities, jungles, and various other types climate zones that i am either unaware of or am not interested in. The people here are all really short, myself being roughly a foot or more taller than the average person. Their short stature however is cleverly masked by some of the most aggressive and insane driving found on the face of planet earth.
As I spent many hours in various buses around the country, I have many opportunities to ponder many questions about life and other random topics. I was able to realize the sheer amount of sci-fi forms that I immerse myself in when I perfectly understood the scientific aspects of the movie "Deja vu", which we watched on the bus. In the dead of night I found evidence that there really are telepathic people in the world when I woke up, wanted to know what time it was, rolled over, and dreamt that I asked Mr. Arrendale what time it was only to learn that I was fairly accurate.
Over the course of the trip, I found myself missing two things in particular: treated water and clam chowder. I really love clam chowder. It will be the first thing I eat after I return home. The soup here is really good, but it is not quite the same. On the subject of food, I got to watch Logan kill a guine pig, have it skinned, cleaned and cooked. It was delicious!
I got to spend some time digging out really big rocks from the sides of mountains. For the most part the efforts put forth yielded only small rocks, but one large rock was found under a foot of earth. It was a really big rock.
People often underestimate the impact of high altitude. The people who live up here would run to the point that fire would burst from thier feet if they ever came to sea level. Shortness of breath is common amoungst us outsiders.
