Busin Adventures

I waslost. And I hadent even gotten on the bus yet. I was in Pucallpa our home town. We were running out of time to get to the bus station and i couldn't remember where it was. David got a moto and saved us. The moto knew where the station was and dropped us right on time before the passengers bored and left all within around ten minutes. It was six thirty at night and we were out for a journey up and over the Andies to lima. A long trip that takes all night and most of the day. About 20 hours total. We slept off and on during the night and in the morning were happy to see the beautiful green villages and lakes that are all throughout the mountains. We could feel the pressure of the altitude as we were going up. 15832 feet was the highest point before we headed back down the mountain into lima. Most of us felt the altitude change in our head and others felt it a little more. Over all the trip was a big success, a great experience and wonderful memories of our trip down south. There will be many more excitements these next two weeks and i am so excited. Next is Arequipa.
