Good bye to the point family.

Happy 4th of July.

 Today marks the end of my time at the point. its been an amazing month, I've met so many awesome people. i think i know know what it must have felt like living in that traveler community in "the beach"living with so many different people from all over the world, everybody with a different accents and outlooks on life.. its been great and I've made some amazing friends during my time there, i was truly sad to leave my second family of travellers, but never the less the amazon is calling. I've loved the month of events in Cuzco, waking daily to fireworks (yes even in the day time), dancing in the streets, religious idles being carried through the streets to drumming, trumpets and flutes. i feel like i became a part of Cuzco standing in the streets amongst its people enjoying the celebrations of their culture, inti raymi, corpus Cristi and 100 years anniversary of Manchu Pichu. as well as enjoying bonfires, firework displays and BBQ's for our American and french friends day of independence, the 4th and 14th of july. 

Local markets, yes thats a big guiny pig!

currently sitting on the bus from a Cuzco to a small amazon town called Puerto Maldenado, the rain is pouring and its very hot at 3am, welcome to the jungle I'd say! john doesn't seem to be adjusting to the heat as well or the prospects of all the humidity and mosquitoes. its great to be back on the road again, i had forgotten how much i loved sitting on a bus watching the scenery and climate outside change so dramatically as well as the scenic landscapes (must be the nerdy physical geographer inside me). the bus is currently winding through the jungle, passing previous land slides and small shack villages, before these shack cookeries would worry me but now all i wanna do is go and see what there cooking, is it more strangeness like Guinea pig  ?.
 i cant wait to get to Puerto Maldenado and explore a little bit of the amazon i can see outside my window, similarly there are many things i want to see in Puerto Maldenado, one being a zoo with a collection of amazon flora, fauna and animals. i suppose i should try get some sleep. that's all for now until I've done something interesting to tell. 

Going to miss them all!
