Puno is WEST of Titicaca

Machu Picchu

Hi gang!

Just arrived in Puno. Im already realizing that its remarkably cheaper than Cuzco... Ive hooked up a hostel single room with ensuite bathroom with HOT water, walking distance from the city for only $us4 per night. Rad.

Sad to leave Cuzco because i met some really beautiful people there. But as always, time to move on.

Its carnival time outside (no naked dancing girls like in Brazil), but the music is kind of nice and out the window of my internet cafe i can see 4 westerners in "North Face" jackets and big cameras slung around their necks. Its always good, security-wise, to know that somebody here looks much much richer than me!

By the way, Puno is on the WEST coast of Titicaca. Ive been telling everybody for the last week that its east. Some kids cant do left and right. I have trouble with east and west. Its hereditary.

Im hoping to spend a couple of days on an island in Titicaca, then my next major destination will be Uyuni for the salt plains (thanks to Evelyn for the recommendation). At present i have no f%$**n idea how im going to get there, so anybody with any ideas, feel free to contact me :)

Got to get something to eat.

love and happiness to all
