Hotel Camping and The Food Fight

We all started the night in our Puno hotel feeling very much on the cold side as there is no heat in the building and outside temps nearing freezing. Oh wait, there was heat in building, I forgot. In the lobby was this very fine upright propane space heater. Not to heat a patio, veranda, or deck but for the reception area.  It is high summer here in November and we are on the opposite of that, but it is really nice, just a little chilly.

Food has been a bit of a challenge for me. Let me restate that, I have surrendered to vacation food. Almost two months ago I started very deliberately not eating refined carbohydrates. Meaning no candy, which I cut out last Halloween after a providentially timed bout of food poisoning following the consumption of a bad burrito and about a half pound of Peanut M&Ms.  I blamed the M&Ms and called a stop to my lifelong affair with the sweet mistress. But as of a few months ago breads, pastas, chips, soda, etc, also all met a bitter end. However, when traveling it is very difficult to find enough of the foods that I would choose in this restricted mode, so I had to cave, and cave I did.  But really I am doing it for the children, the poor children.

Now we are off to catch our boat tour of Lake Titicaca, which means Grey Puma. If you really stretch your imagination you can see the outline of a puma in the shape of the lake, if you turn your head upside down and close your left eye half way.

Peruvian internet upload speeds might possibly be the worst in the world. With that said, keep an eye on the image links and I will get them out there when I am able.
