Craig on Cipro

No pictures of Craig curled up in the fetal position. He missed dinner and had the comforts of a bedroom. Supposedly, his brother got up with him and got him water and rubbed his back.
We are not sure what he ate, unlike John.....Maybe it was the dark yellow water he took a bath in! Yes, the water came out of the bath/shower dark yellow. Otherwise the hotel was nice. Remember we are in a third world country!

The sanitary conditions were not too great in Puno. Lake Titicaca is beautiful where the islands are located, but take a look at the shore where we got on the boat! Tim asked if he could swim in the lake (the day before) and our guide said NO there is cah-cah in the water.

We are now in Lima. So glad to be in a modern city once again. The altitude was REALLY hard on our bodies. It sort of felt like being hit in the head with a sledge hammer. It was an 8 Advil day for me! We drank plenty of water which meant you had to get up in the middle of the night 2-3 times. I could hear myself breathing heavy for a minute before I could get back to sleep. I also had a feeling of dread last night because we left from the Juliaca airport. Driving through the city on the way to Puno made me nervous. No buildings or "homes" were finished. Each one had rebar sticking out of the top of the building. They do this so they don't have to pay taxes.
