Peru - Puno

A quick note before we leave Peru. This should be our last stop and then we´ll move southeast around Lake Titicaca to La Paz. We could spend some time here, in and around the highest navigable lake in the world, but it´s kinda´ cold and it´s been raining every afternoon, making it colder. Surprisingly, it´s not as cold as one would thing for 13,000 feet (our bus ride rose up to 14,400 feet), just the breeze off the lake is reminiscent of, say, Chicago. So, tomorrow, early we´ll be off, continuing through the very green but treeless Altiplano of Bolivia to the other side of the lake. ("Altiplano" roughly translates as "high flats", though the terrain is hardly flat). Not much else to tell. Will be in touch from Bolivia
