Magic Mushroom Girls My friend Mick used to manage a hostel in Amsterdam. He told me that one evening he was at reception when two cute girls came down to the desk, completely naked. He said he could see by their eyes that they were really high on something and guessed that it was mushrooms. They were asking him questions about the hostel or Amsterdam and he pretended like they were not naked and tried to have a normal discussion...
San Agustín to Popayán: The Best of Tricky Scenarios. July 27. I woke up this morning and had a decision to make. I could either stay another night in the hostel of the cocaine maker and see how that went, or I could go back to Popayán where three girls are not very happy with me. I decided on the later. I felt like there was less chance of being murdered there, and more chance of charm getting me out...
Lima Spanish Inquisition Museum of the God Ol’ Days. June 2. I recognized that I had a friend on the bus once we arrived in Lima, Matias from Poland/Germany. We checked into the same hostel and went out for lunch. Ceviche, Peruvian style raw fish, is freaking awesome! Who knew that something that should taste so terrible could be so good? I could eat that three times a day… We went to explore a couple of Lima’s 40+ museums. On...
Breakfast was at 8:30am, and I was the last to arrive. I was still feeling effects of the chicha, the local corn-moonshine we had been drinking with the locals last night when the fiesta began. It was a breakfast that would have pleased me had it been a couple of hours later. But, after a quick meal of bread and jam, my Swedish friends and I headed towards the square to see what was taking place.
Tinku Festival in Macha, Bolivia. Part 1, The Fighting Fiesta Build Up (Click here for Part 2 – The Fights) May 3 As I went to bed early to get a good night of sleep in the dorm of my hostel, a couple followed me into the room. As I came out of the bathroom, they were standing there with the lights on making out like I was not standing in a proximity too close to be making out so...
Maipú Mendoza Wine Bicycle Vineyard Hop. April 16. Life is a funny thing. Here we are on a rock flying through space, rotating on its axis at 1670 km/h. Some humans are in an office crunching numbers. Some are preforming surgery. We chose today to rent bicycles for $5 and ride around Maipú, Argentina, drinking samples of wine in a vineyard, and then riding off to the next vineyard, then drinking samples of wine, then riding…. What a day....
Sickness in Asunción. March 27. I slept restlessly all night and did not get out of bed until noon. I wanted the rest to heal. My body has been trying to be sick since I was in London in early January, but I have been combating it with raw ginger and garlic. I have decided to let it come, and maybe I can process it and get it out of my system. I did not have time to be sick...
