I am updating from Cuzco, Peru, where I have altitude sickness; this is a step up from Peurto Maldonado, where I had constant heatstroke. The one constant through it all since I left Lima (which is lovely, by the way, though we never saw the sun through the omnipresent mist and haze) has been my turistaI am having fun and hope to actually be

Have fun, be safe, and I hope you feel better! (Wow, I sound like a parent. But it's all sincere!)

Take lots of pictures too, so those of us at home can all be very jealous ;)

I hope you feel better, and get to enjoy such an amazing trip!

Picture. Just one old thing that speaks to you. Oh dear.. I hope that wasn't like Beauty asking for a rose. (I mean simply in the sense of the wrong thing to ask, if that isn't transparent.)

Mostly, hope you are feeling better.

Try drinking some of the coca leaf tea the Peruvians drink for altitude sickness. I used it when I was in Cusco, and it seemed to help.
Takes time to get acclimatized.
You're going to love Machu Picchu..it's actually lower in altitude than Cusco I think.

Been there, except the heatstroke part. I hope you feel better with some time to spare before you come back, & I'm glad you can still have fun!

And I hope the sky is clearer where you are now! I never saw so many stars, or saw them look so close, as on the Bolivian altiplano.

Damn. Now I'm jealous.
