deathh tripp

When Simon told us that we had to do homework about a “trip situation” I didn’t know what I could say about it. Well, I don’t want to talk about a trip from home to get college because it’s boring and when I think about this kind of trip I get bored by it.

Now, I’m going to tell you a great story about a “great trip”. Last summer I went across/I crossed The Andes and I went to Mendoza, when I got there I started to prepare my trip to Bolivia and my intention was get to La Paz. I knew there are thousands kilometres between Mendoza and La Paz, but that did not matter to me/ but that wasn't a big deal for me because I had fifty days to do it.

Now, when I got to La Paz I spent some days there with my girlfriend, she was my “road trip partner”. So, when I wished some action, she was there to give it to me… jajaja. Then, we went to The Sun Island and when we got there we spent wonderful days. We stayed in the southern side of the island and then we went to northern side.

When we were about to leave the northern side of the island, I talked with two or may be three Bolivians peasant and everyone said to me- relax my friend!! It will take you between five to six hours to cross the island!!! I believed them! So, when we were on our way we saw the most beautiful landscapes we've ever seen, it was amazing!! When we were halfway we saw a Chilean friend, we’d met in the southern side of the island and we met again in the middle of nowhere!!! So, in that moment he said to me- hey! Do you want something to smoke? – And I asked him… well; show me what you’ve got!! I may not say what we smoked exactly, but you know what I mean.

After we smoked “something”, we decided to go on with our trip, when the night was getting closer we realized that “the five to six hours” was a bullshit (Bolivian peasant declaration!!), we've been walking for about ten hours and we didn’t find any place to spend the night. When the dark fell to us, we started to become exasperated… we were lost!! So, my nice girlfriend started to shout me and she said to me that everything was my fault! She said to me "I hate you"... I tried to calm her down but I could not do it.

At least, after 12 hours walking and screaming for help, we found the nearest town… I’ve gotta confess, I thought I could die...
