This has been an evening of memories flooding back and I'm suffering from a different sort of home sickness. Was out at party and it was the first time I've seen so many people since my leaving do in October. It was the last nail in the coffin of denial that I'm not really back. Staying on Amantani was such a peaceful break, I fondly remember dancing the entire night away with my hostess because nobody else was used to the altitude and then stumbling across the moonlit fields cursing the goats. Wow, it feels like an eternity ago. Just been reading the "The Gringo Trail" by Mark Mann, it's a semi-factual diary of 3 friends of our age and similar backgrounds touring around South America. Utterly awesome anecdotes and I'm finding it really fun comparing their experiences with my own. Anyhoo, I highly recommend it if you can find it in a book exchange get it. Copacabana is a sweet little town, expensive by Bolivan standards but still half the price of Peru! Definitely check out the graveyard (I have an anecdote best told over a pint from there) and you absolutely have to climb up the citadel to see the lady (the views are fantastic, and witch doctors and offerings fascinating)...
