My friend Brian has been traveling through Peru and Bolivia, doing all sorts of cool stuff that I’m jealous of, and he’s documenting the travels with a lot of great detail in his blog (not to be confused with the comically teenaged blog by a different Brian Alexander). I wish there had been such a good way to share my travels when I was in Egypt or China.
I really liked one of his latest entries about his trip to the mines near Potosi. I can’t wait to see pictures.
I realized after these weeks of reading his blog that I really didn’t know the geography and had little idea where he was, so I put together a little map of his travels so far and the order of cities that he’s visited. I wanted to just use google maps or something like that to make the map, but they haven’t mapped out much outside the U.S. and Europe, so I just drew it on a little jpg. I may have misread or missed something, but this is the list of cities he’s travelled to:
Peru
- Lima July 19
- Arequipa July 21
- Puno July 24
- Uros Islands July 26
- Tequile Island July 26
Bolivia
- Copacabana July 29
- La Paz July 31
- Coroico Aug 2
- Rurrenabaque Aug 4
- Pampas Aug 8
- Trinidad Aug 15
- Santa Cruz Aug 17
- Bermejo Aug 22
- Cochabamba Aug 23
- Punata Aug 23
- Sucre Aug 26th
- Potosi Aug 29th
Thanks Matt. I’m going to link this.
