boca de copa - extra image
at the moment i'm in the peruvian city of arequipa - which sits over 2300 metres above sea level. in objective terms that's pretty high, but for me i'm really grateful that i'm this low. descending and ascending as i've left and returned to la paz messed me up a little, and then going to copacabana and lake titicaca maintained this altitude head squeeze. when i was in copacabana i read that it was worth climbing to the top of cerro calvario to see the sunset. it wasn't a long climb, but at close to 4000 metres high you can feel the oxygen depleting with every forward step. once at the top i discovered a big ass cloud between me and the dropping sun, so the promised spectacular sunset didn't really materialise. this shot of the bay and a speeding heartbeat was all i really got out of the experience.
