Alajpacha...far away!

The Alajpacha...The sky, that beautiful and "onhe ende" view. By night it has a very unique show...the stars (waranakaj). The people from NASA say Lake Titicaca sky is one of the best in the world to watch stars. It must be true. In Huatajata we (my dad and I) had the chance to have a night star show. Some researches were making observations and following some stars.

Our first look was to Jupiter and it's 4 Galilean moons. Then the incredible Saturn..it always looks like a sticker and not something real. Mars was more distant but still incredible. Anthares pointed us the Scorpio... a bit down and to the left Sagitarius and some impresive nebulas: Thrifid and Swan. Near the Southern cross we had Alfa and Beta Centauro...Alfa looks like to car lights..very bright.

A bit up and we have the jewlery box...green, yellow, blue stars...magnificent. Up and to the right is a Globular comulus. We saw also the hut galaxy and 2 other more.

At 5am, we woke up to watch Bottini...the 2nd closest comet that comes near Earth. And then...Andromeda...so large that you had to move the telescope to see it all. Rengel and near the Orion belt...a trapezoid figure of stars.

This Alajpacha is full of amazing surprises!!! I'm so glad I had this once in a lifetime chance to see so many beautiful things. This remeind me of how insignificant we are in this whole creation...and yet so dangerous. Gute Nacht!

Come....visit Bolivia!

Last saturday I had a gread experience with some young people...right after that I had one more life gift.

Sunday. Early in the morning I'm heading to Titicaca Lake. Around 10 I'm about to jump up Sun Hydrofoil. It's my first training day. Dunno what will happen further than this week.

The point is that being on Sun Island (Isla del Sol) was the best re-conection I could have with YHWH. The place is incredible. From one side you'll see that wonderfull mountain chain with Illampu, Huayna Potosi, Mururata and Illimani mountains. On the other side...mountains from Peru, and back lies Atacama desert.
In the same time, it was the best chance to go over old steps and finally get rid of some bad memories and seal some good ones as well. After all, that who can't keep on walking in life after certain events...is not suitable for this life.

It is like a small oasis in the middle of this lake, with lots of trees and chances to plant many crops. Although I regreet the boom of constructions and restaurants.

This has to be the best place to watch the sunset and relax in the middle of our lifes. I wish many more could experience a bit of this some day in their lives. Now I can understand why many think this is the point where Incas started their story.

It is just...amazing! You won't regret.
