misc
here's a grab bag of the things left in my notes to blog about from our trip in no particular order. nothing says peru like lamas overlooking machu picchu. guinea pigs under the bed. what were those circular stone things used for? galapagos inspired ratface stories that i might write up some day. kimbolito. no spoons. my vertigo seems to require modern buildings. ancient buildings don't do it. i lost my notes and favorite pen. and found them again. alisa got a beautiful baby alpaca sweater. it was easy to not gain weight with horrible horrible diarrhea. naked situps. marine iguana tracks in cement. blue hearts on roads signify drunk driving deaths. i need a bigger camera. trade pan for traditional life. i tried to eat only foods i didn't recognize. peru had 24 candidates for presidents. the final choice was between the bad guy and the worse guy. river of chub. feeding frenzy. farm whales. the toadstool ate whales to warthogs. machu picchu is hard to get chew. they moved rocks like the crazy youtube guy. andes impressively steep. trains had windows on ceilings. moon-a-quickie means i love you. peruvians are ca-THOL-ics. whew.
