One thing I have to say is that the Internet is much better in the land of Amazon.com than it is in the Peruvian Amazon. The connections are all really slow here (hence the tiny flickr photos), the keyboards are sticky, and I have to install Firefox on every one I use because I can’t stand to use a browser without tabs. Sometimes there isn’t even any Internet at all — we tried to go to a place called ¨Speedy Internet¨yesterday, only to find out that they only had computer games.
The bus terminal Internet is fairly good, however. We’re taking a bus into Peruvian canyon country to go hiking for a day. It seems like it may be a fairly rustic experience — we just saw a sheep get loaded onto a bus. I think it will be a nice break from the big city, though. Arequipa is packed with taxis that honk every time they see a gringo, and street vendors are constantly trying to sell us stuff.
Gotta run now.
P.S. Any Wordpress users know how to make the blog stop censoring words like er0tic or g1rl?
