Peru 'it was my bog, I spent almost two months without realizing it. I have no remorse, but I am 'touched go to Bolivia in a breeze and now I'm in Brazil I realize that Buenos Aires calls me with his muffled voice saying "come, come, that there' plane 'and I do not have time to enjoy it.
Oh yes, time for me as a tyrant, despite nearly four months available for South America
Thinking about it, the situation is not 'serious, is more like that of Pinocchio (mmm.era him?) In toyland not know what gift to choose. I found myself playing a lot with Peru 'and then I found myself in the hands of Bolivia does not have time to get in deep contact. Not to mention that Brazil has much to give.
Only get into Bolivia from Peru 'and find the 4000 meters in La Paz with all these fat women dressed Bolivian Andean hats with these men and their wares for sale on the street, and' experience itself '.
Then buy two liters of yogurt at 600 pounds and if the old lady who 'brought from Cochabamba to the market to sell it, drink a "bee" (sweet corn drink) with a pancake in the middle of the room in a local zozzissimo, finally descending to Santa Cruz in a night journey in the midst of a lunar plain to 4000 meters where you see the mountains on the horizon even more 'high in the morning and find yourself in a world no more' tropical but cold high and low where the men all have a nice package who chew coca in his mouth all the time and seem to have a tumor (here we should be the end of the sentence began with "Buy then two liters of yogurt," but can not find).
And then, let's truth ', not a country coast and we're better. Just to give an idea in Santa Cruz with 8 euros and a half I was downtown in a three star hotel nice and clean and breakfast, took a cab with 1 euro, ate fish soup with 50 cents, a fried fish with 1 , 5, with 1 euro a beer. So the days pass and you feel you do not worry too much money, so everything is relaxed and it seems that the world will be more friend.
In Santa Cruz I have been often find Michael, a dentist friend of mine who occasionally share three months ago here in a Salesian mission and helps children orphaned. Just come put me under and I had to do the good Samaritan holding conferences for children, the beasts that I saw in my travels. Those most 'successful were the animals I've seen in Australia, especially Paul and Joseph (you know, and' the same old joke but I have a good turnover of players and take advantage of it). The money does not bring happiness', but the prices are low, eh eh!
Also in Santa Cruz have been in the company of an Australian / Nepalese / Spanish / Portuguese Buddhist who I met with him in the coach and I continued the journey to the border with Brazil, where lies the Pantanal ie 'one hundred thousand billion million square kilometers of nature where you can see more clearly 'animals in the middle of the Amazon in Manaus.
In the little time we took a boat and took us to see alligators in the night. We saw only his eyes reflecting the torch but they were still a lot and we had a meeting over 'that close for lunch at the restaurant where we have introduced a form of meatballs.
Li 'our paths are split because' Homer (his name) had forgotten he had to get a visa for Brazil because 'Australia. For me no problem, the Italians go everywhere, at least for now.
Now I am in Brazil, but it's raining and cold, what kind of Brazil '? Do not have time to lussureggiarmi in the Northeast and I will limit 'to make the viewer of two / three cities' journey to the South in Buenos Aires.
