Day Six....I think
I´m losing track of the days...
that monkey attacked me...so did the parrots. i guess i got hat i deserved though, you can see i was harrassing them.
Sand boarding was the shit. the pictures show how huge that desert truly was. the guide told us it stretched for 20 miles all the way to the beach.
covered in sand, we jumped on a 12 hour bus to arequipa, the second largest town in peru. this place has a museum with a frozen incan mummy. they wouldn´t let you take pictures, but believe me when i say it was so cool. the hair was perfect, but the face was super messed up.
we met a canadian dude on the bus named ryan, and he spent the whole day with us. he was an addiction counselor. he never asked what i did for a living, so i never told him... but i got tons of good stories about him treating gambling addicts.
the pictures with him with the beverly hills photo is inside this touristy hamburger joint. they played all american rock and hip hop, and had the lamest american pictures all over the walls.
there is a bus strike going on in this city. tons of people cannot work, and have to pay more for cabs, or just plain walk.
ajay and i got super drunk last night. we stumbled into a casino which had 15 slot machines and one electronic roulette table. All we could do was argue about which number to bet on, and eventually my logical side kicked in and we realized all of our bets would have been negative expected value. oh well.
tmrw we go mountain biking down the volcano

Day Three: Small Towns and Huacachina
while moving south through peru, i taught some kids at the bus station blackjack. they ´´shined´´ my shoes, meaning they used white and black paint to make em look pretty. my camera was dead so i couldnt get any pictures. they started betting 10 cents every hand. good thing they won, otherwise i would be the american who stole money from kids who were gambling with food money.
were now in huacachina, a town completely surrounded by sand dunes. they have sand buggies that take you to the top, then you sandboard down.
last night we had a great idea to run all the way to the top of the sand dunes. it took up about 30 minutes, and we were dying the whole way. at the top, we got to look out at the whole city (population 200) the stars were a lot brighter, i got some good shots of orion
the pictures of all those girls in swimsuits were not my idea. during the small party, they grabbed my camera and went into a room. they told me it was a gift. too bad one of the girls had a boyfriend, and when he heard what they did, became very angry with me, so i deleted the pictures of that girl. luckily i used my brain to give him more shots, and he passed out on the ride home.
im tired and wanna swin in the pool so ill update later.

Lima Peru, Day One
wow. lima peru is a lot worse than i thought it would be. everything is super cheap. taxis are 3 dollars flat rate anywhere. ajay and i visited the national museum of peru. we got to see tons of pots and other uninteresting pieces of history. However, we did stumble upon the sacred collection of potatoes. please check that out at my picture site. unfortunately i do not have the knowledge to link the pictures on this site, but you can see them at http://picasaweb.google.com/carloap
i apoligize if none of them are interesting. Please note the short man drinking with us though. I guess you could call him another "paul" from new york. his name was pedro, and he said he knew a great bar that had cheap beer, plus he loved practicing english with us. So we let him guide us although we assume that we will get robbed or grifted in some way. 3 large beers please. ok we're drunk and talking about how peruvians are extremely poor and that the economy will never grow. 2 more beers please. whoa wait a minute pedro, we're drunk and we wanna move on. "it's on me" he says. ok sure. 1 more beer? seriously? alright dude no problem. oh look the check is here. 0h shit you forgot your money. don't worry bro it's ok we got you. Huh? you want 50 solas (16.66 dollars) to feed your kids? Couldn't you have asked for that before we got 90 solas worth of alcohol?
anyways.....tomorrow is the birthday of lima peru, so things should get interesting.
1 day down and i'm not dead!
but now let's set some over under lines:
weed: 25.5 days
camera stolen: 17.5 days
feel free to add any others

First post
Ted Bundy was right. let's face it. the guy was a fucking genius. he was able to convince girls to fully trust and adore him in a matter of hours, and then he would blundgen, kill, rape, and dismember them and leave them in the woods. I'm not saying the guy was not horrible. He was a freak. But the idea that one simple lie from his parent destroyed his entire mental psyche and he started the 35 woman rampage. He found out his sister was actually his mother. One day before he died, he told a reporter:
"I have known people who...radiate vulnerability. Their facial expressions say 'I am afraid of you.' These people invite abuse... By expecting to be hurt, do they subtly encourage it?"
Next post will be in South America!
