Today I woke up ready to go to the floating islands in Lake Titicaca. We were supposed to leave at 6:30, and since Mom or Dad didn’t wake me up I knew we weren’t going. I asked Mom why she didn’t wake me up and she said that Dad really wanted to go but he couldn’t because was still sick from yesterday. They decided that we are going to stay one more day here in Puno and hopefully Dad will be well enough to go on the boat ride tomorrow. If not, Mom, Daryl, and I will go.
I did my math then came down here to lobby of the hotel and did my journal on the computers they have down here.
About Nancy Sathre-Vogel
After 21 years as a classroom teacher, Nancy Sathre-Vogel finally woke up and realized that life was too short to spend it all with other people's kids. She and her husband quit their jobs and, together with their twin sons, climbed aboard bicycles to see the world. They enjoyed four years cycling as a family - three of them riding from Alaska to Argentina and one exploring the USA and Mexico. Now they back in Idaho, putting down roots, enjoying life at home, and living a different type of adventure. It's a fairly sure bet that you'll find her either writing on her computer or creating fantastical pieces with the beads she's collected all over the world.

I’m confused. It is winter where you are, yet the pictures posted in this blog show so many people without coats. Is that just because of the parade–or is that typical? And why don’t they appear to be cold?

Good question LouAnn! It is winter and is bitter cold in the evenings once the sun has gone down. During the day, however, it is very pleasant. I generally wear one thin long-sleeved shirt in the day and that is fine – the kids usuually just wear shorts and t-shirts.
