Myelodysplastic Syndrome Survival Times



"Say it is not beginning the Titicaca
... begins where you see first
and you appear everywhere ... "


Lake Titicaca, located in the territories of Peru and Bolivia, is the highest lake in the world (about 3.800 meters. Above sea level) and the second largest in South America (it takes 7 days for traverse by boat).

Its maximum depth exceeding 360 meters and due to the purity of air, water is particularly transparent.

Right now I write this it is to remember the 13th of May when the first time I stepped on the land that framed the Titicaca. It was now almost 6 pm and sunset was present. Lake it seemed that he was preparing to sleep but did nothing to invite us, happy travelers to immerse in its immensity.

That night, the Titicaca would give us not only the depth of its waters. Also let us live the best of the night when, in the darkness that hit Copacabana (place where we got to the lake), the Milky Way in the sky greeted us.

Words fall short to express what I felt when I left the store where I bought some embroidery and together with my Ecuadorian friend looked at the sky. A blanket of stars surrounded by dust that could ever describe. was upon us.

Then we talked a local at that place looks the Milky Way because of the location and height - never see anything like this in Mexico - I thought and ran with Susi to meet other friends traveling with us.

We lay for hours in the sands of Lake Titicaca to see how the lights looked like they hung some threads and came to us without hesitation. Later, we would walk to the lake to dip your feet in the icy water that reflected the stars while playing the flute that Moti had bought the day before in the city of La Paz, Bolivia.

The next day, when the sun cast its first rays, ask to Titicaca permission to sail to the Isla del Sol we were there, a German, an Israeli, an Ecuadorian, Mexican and two looking at the horizon, contemplating snow-capped mountains surrounding the lake., feeling the cool air on their faces, smiling while his heart leaped ...
