Sitting here at an internet cafe in Arica that is 1/3 the price it cost in San Pedro.  Catching up on UCLA homework and getting creeped out by this slouched over, nerdy, postal worker looking man with greasy hair and glasses - sweet looking though -  who is searching and chatting with young girls on a site called Tagged. 

Took an overnight bus ride from San Pedro and got here at 6:30am.  Left my back at the bus station, walked into the center of town and parked myself at this internet cafe to catch up on homework and blogging. 

May be going to Peru today if I can catch a bus that will get me into Arequipa before 10pm.  Otherwise I´ll stay here and leave tomorrow morning.  Sad to leave San Pedro.  Had a great time and although I am sick of the desert, (I spent 4 days in the Bolivian desert and San Pedro is one of the driest deserts on the planet) i look at the pictures and realize how beautiful it was.  The night time sky was amazing.  It´s nice not to have chalky hands and a smoker´s cough though.

Looking forward to Peru.  Will skip Lake Titicaca.  Would love to share more, but not enough time or internet cafes.  Actually, there are enough of those, they just get pricey.  Next time I´m traveling with a tiny laptop one of my tour buddies had with him.  He´s from Holland and does some travel writing as well. 

God, this man is pulling up teenage girl´s high school pictures now on a site called Amigos Adventistas!!!!  I think those are 7th Day Adventists girls.  He´s been here for about an hour.  Gross.  I´m outta here. 

See you soon!
