Peru Stories

Dentist and dating

I almost forgot to write what I'm doing. 

I’ve been in bed for most of the day. I’m in a hostel bedroom in Arequipa Peru. I hear a Chicuango Thrush outside the window.

I think I ate parasites in a pueblito restaurant, after hiking out of Colca Canyon, the third deepest canyon on earth. We started the trek at 4:40 am. We were supposed to start at 4:30 but I was ten minutes late, probably because I ate half a milligram of xanax the night before. I woke up feeling like I was in a womb. Then I felt angry. Then I was walking up a up a mountain for 3.5 hours, getting increasingly pissed off.
