Puquio-

When I arrived in the little town of Puqiuo, I was greeted by a carnival of dancing and one giant water fight, so what can one do but stay the night. I could use the rest anyway. I have been biking up for the last two and a half days. In two days of riding there was nothing, except one or two little restaurants. I ran out of water and struggled to keep warm. I played in the snow and chased the wild alpacas in the mountains. I camped in abandoned sheep herders hut in the mountains. I went from the desert to snow in the mountains. I slept in all my clothes just to stay warm, two pairs of pants, two long sleeve shirts, but I was able to make it. Then I woke in the morning for one of the most wonderful rides in my life, just above the clouds and life does not get any more perfect than this.

Camping below the cross, last night in the desert.

Up above the clouds once again

The wildlife

Snow, and I could feel it

But the snow does not bother my friends

SNOW!, and my Chacos

Little rooster likes to play in the snow too.

The hut in the mountains

The kitchen

Out the front door

Camping in the hut

GREEN!

Cow with earrings

Little pigs, my friends on the road

Up above the town

Who would have known

Bring it on

Dancing in the streets - this is my kind of place

With my face painted and wet from water balloons, it is time to party
