El Mamut Chiquitita Queria Drogar

Coca tea, made from the leaves of the Coca plant, is the traditional cure for altitude sickness around here. Darin was the first to indulge. So I couldn´t help singing him one of my favorite songs about a certain curious Mammoth (thanks Elisita!):

Un mamut chiquitita se quería drogar
probaba y probaba y no se podía drogar
un gato, su amigo, lo quiso ayudar y
10 líneas de coca le hiso probar (y qué pasó?)
Sobredosis, el mamut con sobredosis (bis)
(voz: y ahora qué le pasó?) Se murió, el mamut se murió (bis)
Tomorrow we head out to trek in the Colca Canyon (the second deepest in the world!) for 3 days, so I won´t be posting until we get back. Love to all back home.


UPDATE: We found a sub shop called MAMUT in Arequipa and had to take a picture.
