Soroche = altitude sickness). Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Scam Team in Centro de Lima. Our last night in Lima we tried to find the bar with the brawl again since it was comfy and cheap and they treated /us/ right at least. We found this bar that was so exactly the same it was hard to tell if we were at the same place or not, but it definitely was different. So we learned a toast wiht Marceille,. Upstairs, raise glass). Downstairs, hit table). Al centro (*hit glasses*). Al dentro (down the hatch). Our ho...

Soroche Tales: October 2009
http://sorochetales.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Soroche = altitude sickness). Sunday, October 25, 2009. Alpaca Capitol of the World. I learned how to order fried chicken in Ollechea, so I took a day off to enjoy myself. Also my legs were tired after four days straight of nothing but uphill riding, and I knew the difficulty would only increase with altitudes beyond 2300 meters in Ollechea. I did two things right though, finished my book, so that was about 300 grams reduced from my pack. And also made some friends at the street vendor food stand. The gi...

Soroche = altitude sickness). Saturday, November 21, 2009. Juliaca and Sillustani Ruins. So I'm home now, but I have more I want to write, so I'm gonna keep going for two or three more posts. I flew back to Chicago, chilled with my family for three days, then made a mad dash across country to my new home for the winter, Kings Beach at Lake Tahoe. I forgot to write about Juliaca before! Some videos of the market in Juliaca,. A few kilometers before Juliaca I saw the first white person since 14 days previo...

Soroche Tales: A Quick Burn Through Bolivia
http://sorochetales.blogspot.com/2010/02/quick-burn-through-bolivia.html
Soroche = altitude sickness). Saturday, February 13, 2010. A Quick Burn Through Bolivia. Halloween in La Paz was my mission, I decided at some point while staying in beautiful Copacabana. Ever since I was on the scene of the first Madison Halloween riots in 2002, I've tried to do Halloween right! Judging from the map I thought I had a chance. Lake Titicaca is at 12,500ft and La Paz is at 11,900ft. So I get a 600ft downhill boost into the city right? On repeat across the peninsula. At one point I saw a wh...

Soroche Tales: Ohhhh Señor Jesus!
http://sorochetales.blogspot.com/2009/11/ohhhh-senor-jesus.html
Soroche = altitude sickness). Monday, November 2, 2009. I found a Quechua language radio station near Llave. Did some recording on my mp3 player for y'all. And then I found a translator for a USA southern baptist minister in La Paz. This guy is amazing if he´s translating this live. Wish I had more space, this went on for an hour at least. You can learn some good Spanish from this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The story so far. Puno and Lake Titicaca. Juliaca and Sillustani Ruins. End of the Road.
