hellbent hikers homers home

Were sitting on a bus to Puno right now staring at the highest freshwater lake in the world.  Angie is fast asleep next to me. Early this morning we met cookie,dave,aly and phil at the bus station in La Paz.  What a chance encounter.  Thought we would'nt see everyone until Cuzco.  They just arrived after pulling a red eye fron Uyuni salt flats.  We cant wait to hear all about their exciting adventures.  The six of us talking on a street corner in La Paz ,Bolivia...Krazy! Just passed through yet another border crossing.  Me and Angie were randomly checked for cocaine.  I watched as the Bolivian narcotics police passed his hand right over my pill bottle containing Bob our travelling turtle,how would I have explained that?  Another thing I would have a hard time explaining is the other pill bottle I had filled with baking soda,the catylyst used with my coca leaves. Nothing was noticed and we were let into Peru at Desquadero.
