Traffic on Pan-Americana Highway after huge explosion, I wrote before, was restored and I decided not to go through the head hunters (head shrinkers) territory. They probably have never seen a folding bicyclist and may have a temptation to shrink my head as a souvenir. Instead I started long bus ride to Lima, Peru. However, before I will continue let me finish with Ecuador.

Displayed times (last time: )

not eat for the entire 4 days trip, especially because we spent most of time in the car and did not walk much. As a result I lost all my American saving and returned to the weight with which I left Soviet Union 23 years ago. Many people I met, notice that the America is the country where the most of people are very fat. Unfortunately it is true, 65% are overweight. So these who want to loose weight come here, but India definitely the best choice for this purpose. Stone tree is on the last picture in the attachment.

This is the result of wind erosion and the extreme temperature range in the high Andes (4000m), from minus 30C at night to plus forty during the day. We experienced these changes. It was pretty tough. Again, I wish you my dear readers

THE HAPPY NEW YEAR

My dear friends,

I apologize to these whom I did not answer yet, I will do it later. From Uyuni I went to Potossi, then Sucre and now I am in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. In half an hour I am leaving Santa Crus by train and will be in Brazil tomorrow.

I hope to take one more jungle tour to Pantanal from Currumba, Brazil. Pantanal is the most jungle Brazilian province. I should tell you that jungle impressed me most. You don,t have to be born in rural village to be forest lover. My friend and friend many of my readers NV was great intellectual and spent her life in large city, but she was a person who loved and knew forest as not many villagers do. I know she would be delightful to visit this super forest JUNGLE. And it doesn't matter how many animals you see. What is impress most is how tall and multi level is this, and also multiple connection of all inhabitants. It is very interconnected echo system. It is so sorry that Amazon jungle continue to be destroyed. I will write about it later.
