We are in another small hotel without Internet tonight so again this won’t be posted until later.
After talking to the lady at the tourist office in Chavín this morning we decided that the best way to get to our next stop would be to go back to Huaraz and get a bus to La Union from there. La Union is on our itinerary because Duke remembers being particularly impressed by the beauty of the ruins outside of town.
So we back tracked to Huaraz. Huaraz is a climbing center so it has a lot of foreigners. We had a 90 minute layover which we spent at a very nice restaurant where we had hamburgers, fries and beer! My first hamburger in over a month.
The bus ride from Huaraz to La Union was another stunning ride. I’m sure you are getting really sick of my quoting our altitudes. I can’t help it I am addicted! Today the bus went over a 15,320 ft (4,670 m) pass.
We arrived in La Union without any idea where we would stay. I sat on a street corner surrounded by our bags while Duke checked out accommodations. I had a nice conversation with the lady who owned the shop I was sitting in front of. Duke returned to lead me to the place we were staying. We have a very basic, clean room, my primary complaint is that there is no toilet seat!

No toilet seat must have come as a surprise. But I guess the unexpected is what makes traveling so interesting! 😛

Hovering over a toilet bowl is always so much fun!
And I am not tired of you posting altitudes- they are impressive! Have you had any problems with shortness of breath? ₩

The altitude definitely takes getting used to. I only get short of breath when exercising but I am much better after acclimating. I think it does make it difficult to sleep well
