Where I stayed
El Manzano

We´re back on the impossibly slow tour boat going back to Puno from the lake.  I enjoyed being out on the lake but ít´s been hard not having had a proper handwashing with soap for two days.  I also haven´t seen a toilet that flushed itself; you have to wash it down with a bucket of water.  Hand sanitizer only goes so far and I want to reach civilization again.  First thing I´ll do is take another hot shower at El Manzano.  Then I´ll get more soles at an ATM.  We might hit up the local artisan market and try to take a bike taxi to the center of town. 

I think that travelling is teaching me some spiritual disciplines: patience, generosity, and endurance.  Not that I am practicing them well, but I am at least learning about them.  I am also feeling more fond for home and the people there.  Sometimes you have to get away to fully appreciate what you have left behind.
