Journal Entry 3: Moped Rides and Travel Thoughts
The Butterfly Pool
The Butterfly Pool Hammock Area
Again, this is transposed exactly how I wrote it in my journal in Rurrenbacque.
April 26th-
According to my initial plan that I put together last November, I should be on a plane to L.A. right now. My world ticket, has been completely canceled. My old plan, is so far gone I do not even remember it. So, instead, I rented a motorbike and am now sitting on the top of a mountain overlooking Rurrenbaque, Bolivia. It is a beautiful pool called ¨The Butterfly¨.
Still most definitely doing the Galapagos Islands. I need to get dive certified. Im looking for the Hammerhead shark dive rush. I have heard nothing but amazing things.
I am obsessed with getting video uploaded on the blog. I am thinking of locking myself up in La Paz until the task is complete.
Now that I sort of know how to ride a moped, scuba diving and motorcycle riding are next on the list. Check that, I really do not know how to drive a moped. Much laughing has ensued by the locals at my “attempt” to ride the moped.
This morning I was in the pissiest mood of the trip by far. Not sure why… It most likely has something to do with a slight hangover, shitty Internet access, and the crackhead that rented me the moped. He was not impressed with my gear shifting skills and would not give me the bike I wanted.
I just hit 100 days of traveling.

Congrats on the 100 days! The pictures are great, helps us all imagine what you are experiencing. Good to know you are seeing some of the most beautiful places in the world in addition to meeting up with Johnny Walker Red! Joking aside, Bolivia sounds like it has been a real highlight. How are your language skills progressing w/o class? Faster or slower than expected?
