Peru is three hours ahead of Seattle (right now). Chile is five hours ahead. Keep that in mind when crossing into Peru… you’ll spend an extra tour hours in not-so-fun Tacna waiting for that bus to Puno (near Lake Titicaca)!

Communication is much easier in Peru, in general. They enunciate all syllables and speak slower.

Theives are everywhere. We’re always on guard, and it’s exhausting!

Eva and I leave for Machu Picchu Sunday morning.

Prices are WAY cheap, especially if you eat from street vendors and get the special of the day (Menu El Dia) in restaurants. Some examples:

• 3 bananas, Corn on the cob, loaf of cheesy bread — US$.90
• Large pizza, coke, hot cocoa — US$8.00 ($4.00 each)
• Garlic bread, chicken soup, fettucini, coca tea — US$2.00
• etc.

I will never take hot water for granted again.
