Ciudad Perdia

Just got back from a 5 day trek in the Colombian jungle to see Ciudad Perdida or the Lost City. Now, I haven't seen Machu Picchu, but the Lost City is pretty impressive despite what some might say. We were the only group to roam the city. Just us and the military men who would trade their military gear for pack of smokes. Unfortunately, I had nothing to barter with.

My left achilles tendon pretty much split in half and I had at least 22 bites on my left leg alone, but i wobbled back!

Now, there was roughly 18 of us trying to make the trek and well, it's amazing how your smelliness, pain, and excitement can bring you so close. It was quite sad when we all split apart just knowing that you probably won't see each other again. Everytime I wanted someone to tell me something, I would just say "What's the big deal anyways? I probably won't ever see you again so it doesn't even matter." That normally would be followed with a laugh, but seriously, I think I did some pretty disgusting things and said some pretty weird stuff, but whatevs. What can you do?
