The womens world tour of surfing was very cool. i just sat on the beach for some time and watched these people surf, they are really good. and the aussie girl i have been travelling with for the last week or so went to school with one of the women competing, so that was cool. other than that there hasnt been much to do, except swim and lie in the sun, which i have no problem with.
but his girl, her name is alli, is very very very stingy with her money. which i guess its good, but sometimes its just ridulous. anyway, so we have spent like 25 dollars in 2 days, so we thought we would go to a nicer resturant before we left at 10 pm our last night. we decided on a mexican resturant that looked good. the food was delicious, i had a huge tortilla with veggies and chicken and shrimp, very satisfying. then i got a piece of apple pie at another resturant and we finished up the night with drinks before we got on the bus.
it was all going fine for the first couple hours, i slept, and then i woke up feeling nauseas. i had trouble getting back to sleep because i was focusing entirley on not throwing up. after an hour or so i lost this battle and had to retreat to the bathroom on the bus, and revisited it a few more times throughout the night. sleep didnt come easy. we got to the city for our connecting bus at 6 am to find the bus didnt leave unitl 9 pm, so we dropped off our bags and went to check out some pre-incan ruins. had i not been feeling like shit i think it would have been more fun. then we went to a beach were i passed out in the sand for 2 hours, and that helped a bit. then we headed to a movie, where i came down with a fever. we drag ourselves back to the bus station and i manage to sleep for a few ours on our second 8 hour overnight bus ride in a row. now im at the hostel at more than 10,000 feet up and just waiting to be struck by altitude sickness. i met a german today and i think were going on a four day trek with him and a friend in a few days.

That sounds like a bummer, man. Have fun on your trek, but be wary of the Germans.
agreed. Wow...seriously...wow. Your persistence and courage are inspirational.
jeeves, your photos are great! its cool to see what you choose to shoot--like the fat guy selling pencils on the street. and yourself sucking on the long hash pipe...or were you blowing in a blowgun?
keep 'em comin'!
Jeevon, kiddo! Nothing worse, really, that I can think of than being that sick on a night bus in a developing country. I have been there and don't ever want to go there again. I'm so sorry! Anyway, I hope you are feeling recovered. Do be careful about the altitude. At least build up some reserves before you head out. Don't assume more nausea is food poisoning: headache and nausea are the first symptoms of Alt. sickness. Head down 1000 feet. Good luck. And I agree: you are impressive!
