yikes! we are high

Feb. 18
Lima to Juliaca. Juliaca to Puno.

1. do not run, under any circumstance, when you first get off the plane in Juliaca. running at 3825 meters above sea level immediately hurts.

2. stay at Inka's Rest in Puno. It is a charming place in a very central location.

in any case, stay in Puno. Juliaca sucks.

3. Always tell vendors you got whatever tehy are trying to sell you 6 soles less at the store just down the street. and as you accumulate articles of clothing, wear them and they will ask you how much you paid for it. they will always offer you "better price, miss. beter price."

4. drink mate con coca as much as possible. it really helps with the evelvation. and it is cool to see coca leaves...
