Octopii t-shirt

June 17th
The Belgium couple and I travelled to a very small town called cabanaconde. It's a town that sits near the edge of the colca canyon. It's a quite little dirt town with an old church in the middle. Today I made more friends along my journey. We ended up befriending 2 Americans from California, a dutch boy, and a cute Colombian guy. I noticed mr. Colombia in the bus station because he was wearinG an octopus t-shirt that I had seen 2 other travellers wearing (in different parts of peru) in the last week. I complimented him on the t-shirt and before you know it, he was part of our travelling family. As we were talking I learned that he lived and studied English in New York city and Amherst. So we started swapping stories of our favorite New England spots.    
Upon arrival into cabanaconde, we all decided to stay in the same hostel and have a big communial pizza dinner. It was great fun.
Tomorrow we will desend about 4 hours into one of the deepest canyons in the world. It will be an experience that won't be forgotten.
