At the moment I`m watching a macaw eating a fruit on a tree next to the lodge. Tho mountains are cloudy, it`s raining, and few children are playing on the yard.
I feel cold and nauseous. I had luxurious breakfast here with a mother of a family. She`s from MYNAMAKI! You heard that right! She`s working here at Finnish Embassy. She`ll be here also until Sunday. It was strangely difficult to speak finnish after a month and a half plain spanish and english.
The bustrip was more comfortable I had thought. Transportes Junin has two floor busses with movies, really comfy bed-seats and trustworthy peruanos as passengers.
But I still didn`t manage to sleep well. Only couple of hours.
The drive here from the centere of Sam Ramon was long and beautiful. I got a new friend of my driver, Jonathan. The food here is rich and lots, compared to the Amazon.
Yes I`m very happy to pay tons on maoney for this short visit.
I want to move so much but my stomach thinks otherwise.

Forgot to mention about yesterday. Israeli girl. Also from Cusco. Also sick. Also loves sushi. I`m glad we bumped into her.
And the bus last jnight. I was chatting with Caesar how I grew up with X-files. And in the buss, feeling as crappy as I did, guy next to mme started to watch interenting episode of x-files on his laptop. With english subtitles.
Today has been magical. This place is amazing. The host is amazing.
We think so aliike of the higher, natural powers. And he treats me like a queen. Which is so, so so nice because I feel like shit physically.
He also loves Nightwish, has played in punk rock band, loves dogsm loves the jungle.. BTW if I ever move to jungle, this is the place to be; no mosquitos!
Oh! Marika, the Finn, is old classmate of my best friend`s aunt. In San Ramon.
Essi!!! Heidi just gave me the link to your blog here...so I'm catching up...I made it this far already...My plan was to just comment once I was caught up...but after reading that you found a Finn from Mynamaki who is an old classmate of your best friend's aunt I had to comment :)
VastaaPoistaThe trip sounds amazing...I'm guessing you finally got your Ayahuasca experience after much effort, eh???...Was it everything you hoped it would be???...
I have a few more entries open still so I can comment on them...but the work day is ending soon, so I probably won't get to them today, but I'll try...
I'm very happy that you had such a huge adventure into Peru...and that you documented it in here :)
I hope all is well in Finland,
Mark
I could write a book of this trip! So many people, so many little tiny things that happened every day... but then again, this little tiny things happen to me here as well every day, and i only wish i would remember to write them down. My friend there in Pampa Hermosa has had a habit of writing such things for seven years; i think i´ll start that too.
PoistaI did end up finding ayahuasca-experience, but it was nothing too special to me. Mostly had visions that i remember having when i was a child, and my stomach got upset, and i watched other people puking and was wondering how they felt.. I did have magical time, too, but the effect of the plant in my mind was not strong.
