Hopelessly behind (on blogging) and off to Machu Picchu

Well as you can see, I just posted the diary that I wrote on October 7 before joining with my Dragoman tour group. Since then, I have seen Lake Titikaka from two countries. We departed La Paz on the 8th for Copacabana on Titikaka´s Bolivan shore. We hiked 6 miles across the top of the sacred Isla del Sol. On the 10th we headed across the border to Puno, Peru, and a tour of the Dineyland-esque Reed Islands of Lake Titikaka. In Puno, I found my first wifi connection at a reunion dinner with my 3 British mates from the Uyuni trip and my new mate Sally, which led to some fun facebook uploads (check out the photos!). We arrived in Cuzco on the 11th after a long drive day in the Dragoman truck and now after a day in a half in Cuzco, I am getting ready to hit the hay for a few hours....we get up early to begin our 4 day trek (Mon - Thurs) in the Andes to visit various Inka ruins and contemporary villages, before heading to Machu Picchu on Friday. Will be back in computer land on Friday night and will post photos and more come the weekend!

My camera broke right before joining the group in La Paz, but fortunately, my new roommate, Ali, lent me hers for a few days. My camera is in for repair here in Cuzco, but I bought a new one to take on the trek. Here in Cuzco, I was able to burn a DVD of my photos thus far, which enabled the post on Uyuni. However, I have run out of steam to upload photos of the Titikaka trip!
