Last night we went to an awesome festival where people were dancing in the street pretty much continuously for like eight hours! In the afternoon, the festival was more like a parade. We sat on the stairs of a church for like 5 hours stuck in the same position. We were the only travelers in the bunch....we were squeezed together super tight and by the end all of our limbs and bums had fallen asleep. The families around us def. were amused by us!! We made some friends for sure!
Later that night, we returned to the festival. The dancing continued and we ended up being pulled into a dancing group (A dream come true!). In the dancing group there were the cutest little girls (who by the way had sweet dancing skills). We ended up dancing down the street with them and about 20 or so people were taking pictures of us. When we were done dancing they asked where we were from and if we voted for Obama. When we said : ¨Oh yeah, we voted for change!¨ The entire crowd yelled ¨OBAMA!¨ We kissed them goodbye and were given a little handkercheif as a souvenir, It was glorious. Basically, we are famous in Puno now.... hahaha This morning when we were walking down the street this guy said he remembered us from last night.
Now we are getting ready to go to Bolivia, where we probably wont have internet for awhile. We also hope that paparrazzi don´t follow us to the border...haha j/k. What we really hope for is to make friends with the Bolivians at the border!
Until next time! Adventure is Out There!
P.S. We included a picture of our family from the island and a festival crew picture.
