My Awesomeness Adventure in Latin America

The plane arrives in Peru from Texas. I step out of the plane and look at my surroundings. There are trees and tall grass surrounding the runway. I walk into the doors of the airport to find my luggage and be on my way. When I find my luggage, I walk out of the doors of the airport and call for a taxi. The driver spoke a smattering of English, so I had to speak to him in Spanish. All of those foreign language lessons finally pay off. When I arrive at my hotel, I unpack and begin to look through the brochures of famous landmarks and wonderful places to visit. I thought that visiting a nearby museum of Latin American History.
There were many statues and historical models and figures that showed me what life was like for Latin Americans many many years ago. It also showed me what ancient cultures like the Mayan and Incan were like, with miniature models of temples and monuments. When I was finished with the museum, I stepped outside and saw a giant parade! It was a huge celebration for something that seemed interesting. The people were carrying giant metal statues through the large crowds, and people were fighting for position to carry the thousand-pound sculptures. The whole thing was truly fascinating.
After I had squeezed through the crowd of people in the parade, I thought that it would be a good idea to visit the ruins of the great Incan Empire in Machu Picchu (http://www.rediscovermachupicchu.com/). I decide to take a train over to the mountains near Cuzco, the main city of the Inca. Then, I take a 20 minute bus ride up to the ruins. It is a beautiful sight up in the Andes. I can see clouds standing 50 feet above my head. The ruins look complex and above standard for people living 700 years ago.
After visiting the ruins, I thought that it would be a great idea to go up to the highest standing lake in the world: Lake Titicaca. It is on the border of Peru to Bolivia and it stands about 10,000 feet in the air. I take an airplane to the lake and pay for a ferry across the lake. on the way across, I see fishermen in boats made from wooden reeds (http://www.worldwander.com/peru/reedboat.jpg). That's interesting, I thought, as my ferry almost reached the dock at Bolivia.
Once I step off of the boat and on to the dock, then I notice that It's harder to walk up so high. There wasn't very much oxygen, so I went over to a tea shop to have a cup of coca tea (http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/7/7b/250px-Mate_de_coca_Peru.jpg), before I were to pass out. Afterwards, I was feeling ready to explore the mountaintops, but I was starved. I looked around to try to find a store of which I could buy some food.
After satisfying my hunger, I started to climb up a tall hill to get a better view of the lake. it was a beautiful sight, with a golden sun and a red sky above. The lake shows a glistening reflection of the sun. well, I'd better get back to the hotel, I thought. The road back was like a vast desert in the night. it was a long way back, and at one point I thought that I'd never get back. I was wrong.
It was a nice and quiet night back at the hotel, and I never missed a minute of sleep. I want to explore the rest of South America while I'm here, I thought. I decided to visit Rio De Janeiro (http://www.everttaube.info/images/rio_janeiro.jpg) in Brazil. I stepped on the plane and then it took off. It was a beautiful view from 10,000 feet in the air.
Once the plane had landed, I went over to the coastline to look at the nice view on the beach. I saw people playing soccer in the sand barefoot. That looked like fun. I don't know how I would have joined the game, because I didn't know a single word in Portuguese. So, I decided to go along the Amazon River. I went North up to the great river by car, so it lasted a day or two.
When I arrived, I payed a man to take me along the river (thankfully, he understood enough English to know what I was saying). It was an amazing trip that went down the river all the way to Columbia. The trip took about a week. On the way, we saw people with trading posts. Most of them made jars to sell to people that came along in boats. We stopped at a few of them and I bought a jar as a souvenir. When arriving in Columbia, I stopped at a coffee shop (Columbia is famous for making coffee). After that, I took a plane over to Venezuela to see the Angel Falls (http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/images/content/95601main_Amazon-River1.jpg).
When I arrived at the waterfall, I was amazed (at the height of the falls, and the fact that a 100 year old man was jumping off of the massive waterfall ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlG0l9xT-Do&mode=related&search=)). what a strange sight). I feel bad for him when I see that there are sharp rocks at the bottom of the waterfall. I remove my hat and there is a moment of silence after I see that the man had disappeared from my sight behind the trees.
After seeing the waterfall, I decide that I want to go up to the Central America. But before I do so, I would like to go to Peru to look at what I had missed, such as the Nazca lines in the northern area of the Atacama Desert.
I take a plane over to Peru again and then I get on another plane for I have been told that the only way you can make out the figures is if you are up high in the air. The view from up there is amazing! I can see figures of spiders, condors, hummingbirds, many more animals, and other some quite random figures.
After that, I decide to go to the Mayan world in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico to visit the underworld. Yes, it seems like a strange accomplishment, but all I will do is go underwater for a long time at the Cenote at the Yucatan Peninsula. The Mayans believe that when people die, they just go to the underworld, unlike Christian and Jewish beliefs, where after you die, you are judged by what you did in your mortal life if you belong in Heaven or "the basement". As usual, I take a plane to my destination. I go up inside a plane to Mexico City, then I take a very long bus ride to the Yucatan. I hike down to the cenote and dive from the top of the opening to the "underworld". I hold my breath for half an hour, breaking a human world record, and searching around for cool things. This blog helps me to synthesize because I can think of good ideas and be creative. This blog also helps me with evaluation because I can easily recommend going to Latin America with this story.
