Puno and Lake Titicaca

So, currently in Cuzco now, doing a little writing before tomorrows four day tour of Machu Pichu and the Sacred valley. Should be fantastic.

But! A recap of recent events. Went to Puno, a pretty large city on the coast of lake titicaca, peruvian style. Food- much better than bolivia. General organization and cleaniness- superior to bolivia. Needless to say, I like Peru.

So, first part of a two day tour I went on in Lake Titicaca: We went to the infamous floating islands of Uros. Thats right, they float! They´re entirely made of reeds, which grow in abundance in the shallows of the lack. They vary in size(about forty in total, with over 2 thousand residents) and are pretty nuts to walk on, and comfy to nap on. They´ve got little huts on the edges, surronding a central ¨hang out¨ place, with rolls of reeds to sit on. Also, you can eat the reeds. They taste kinda like what you´d imagine, a generally bland veggie.

But, gotta run! I´ll be gettin´ up tomorrow bright and early for a bit o adventurin. Have a good one.
