Puno, Day 2
Not much doing

Hey hey alligators, I don´t know why I just called you alligators.
Puno is a quaint little town, a little grungy, a little dirty, with a few nice spots, a few cute shops, and the street vendors aren´t pushy. I wandered around today, went into a little church, looked at a Peruvian art museum, skipped a few others cuz you either had to pay or they were closed (Sunday).
I part walked, part took a taxi to this one museum, called Museo Yavari, which is an iron-hulled boat sitting in the water, undergoing renovations with the hopes that it will sail once again. All the many heavy parts of the ship were brought to Lake Titicaca over a 6 month period by train first, then by mule over the mountains. It was pretty neat actually, since I have a love for all things pirate or pirate related.
I booked my tour for tomorrow -- it´s a 2 day, 1 night tour of the islands around here and I´ll tell you all about it when I return.
I´m out of internet time so I gotta jet!
I´m almost in Bolivia!

Yo le gozo bloguea Jennifer y yo espero que usted aprecie el hecho que escribo a usted en español roto. Hago tanto queriendo visitar Lago Titicaca que es donde Tor Heyerdahl, famoso para la expedición de Kon Tiki, fue a obtener la balsa que él utilizó para construir su barco. El llevó a través de ther Pacífico en el barco de ths para demostrar un punto que yo no puedo recordar actualmente.

I am enjoying you blogs Jennifer and I hope that you appreciate the fact that I am writing to you in broken spanish.
I would very much like to visit Lake Titicaca which is where Thor Heyerdahl, famous for the Kon Tiki expedition, went to to get the balsa wood that he used to build his boat. He drifted across ther Pacific on ths boat to prove a point which I can't remember at the moment. Luv Grandfad AKA Password (people are always asking for me!!!!!!!)
