Hi this is Jessie again!
Yesterday, Adam and I went for a 3 hour hike on Isla del Sol! It proved to be more difficult than just a "walk" as the locals called it... whether it was the altitude, steep hills or the intense sun, Adam, our new British friends and I were exhausted at the end! The view was beautiful though, and the dehydration was well worth it :)
After waking up nice and early this morning, we walked to a nearby restaurant and had a hearty breakfast of bread butter and marmalade, eggs, pancakes, fresh OJ and coca tea. And who else was to interrupt our meal but a MONKEY! It was so exciting!! The owner told us to break off pieces of our bread to feed him! (the monkey, not the owner;) For some reason, he really liked me and started grooming my hair and climbing all over me!! I have some great pictures of Adam and I feeding the monkey, but my camera cord broke in the backpack so it will be a while before I can find some alternative.
Other than that, we spent most of today walking throughout Copacabana and browsing through the local/semi-local merchandise. The jewelry is so beautiful! must be careful... :) Tonight we plan on dining at a recommended restaurant- every time we pass by, it smells SO good! Tomorrow, we are headed to Cuzco (10hr bus ride) and will either find a tour of Machu Picchu or go hangliding! Either way, I'm stoked!
Talk to you from Cuzco!

Hey guys! So glad to hear that things are going well. Adam, seriously, if you find anything cool for my new place... statue, picture, trinket, kick ass socks like the ones you got me for christmas.. let me know! I'll pay you back. Glad to hear that you made friends with the monkeys, don't send me one of those. :) Stay strong you too! Soak it up! Super proud of you!
Hola world travelers. Thanx for the posts we truly enjoy them. We're getting ready for Father's Day. Devin is home and Aunt Sue is coming over at noon. We're having BBQ wild caught salmon with Japanese cucumbers and pesto salad. Wish you were here. Mom got me two new Japanese Maples and Devin helped me transplant them. All's well. It's been at or near 100 for 4 or 5 days now. Summer in the desert is hot. I'm going to get cleaned up and spend the rest of the day watching the U.S. Open. Tiger is in the final group, it should make for good TV watching. Bring me back a small stone from Machu Picchu. Have you acclimated to the elevation yet?
Hey Guys
Great story about the monkey. Hope to see some pictures of that. Grandma and Grandpa were asking about you guys today. I spent a wonderful day in the country for Father's Day. They hope you guys are doing well and having lots of fun. Can't wait to see those pictures. Sorry to hear about the video camera, hopefully you have a backup plan. Take care and keep blogging.
Dad
Hey Dad (Glenn), you can just go ahead and deposit that check whenever you get a chance.
Glad to see everyone is posting! Good to hear everything is going well back home in the states.
