Where the hell am I, you ask?

I’m right here, of course.  Go ahead and click on the picture to see a larger much clearer version (note: you’ll then have to click on the little “expand” button at the bottom right of the image to get the full-size map…and that’s only if you have windows XP, I think…) of this crappy, blurry image you see below.  But first, some statistics:

I originally thought that peru would take about 2,200km (1,364 miles)  to walk (including the bit from La Paz Bolivia to the border)…well, I guessed WAY wrong.  I’ve already walked 2,400km (1,400 miles)and have close to 1,000 (620 miles)more to knock off before crossing into ecuador…and those kinds of horrible number-estimation skills should explain why I became a Spanish teacher. 

The yellow line on the map shows where I was originally planning to walk, along the border of the Amazon Basin…but, for no really interesting reason, I decided to keep things to the West of the Andes.

    Hey I met you in June or July 2005 in Potosi, Bolivia. Lost the adress of your site and I’ve been wondering about you ever since because your trip sounds so cool. I knew the URL had something to do with walking, but couldn’t remember your first name.

    now, a few weeks ago, a friend of mine returned from SA and she told me ‘hey in Peru I met this cool guy Ian who’s walking…’ and I’m like ‘oooooh IAN, that’s his name’ so now that I’ve ‘found’ you again I will keep track of you! Good luck with everything and happy travels!

About ANOTHER DAY

Something happens every day. I'm pretty sure, anyway. This is my attempt at cataloging those moments in my life. Why? Why not.
