We have fled Peru in the eve of a national transportation strike and are now in Bolivia. Safe, healthy, happy. Our first destination was Copacabana, still on Lake Titicaca, a cozy little Bolivian town. We visited the Sun Island yesterday - home to ruins of the Amare culture that is shared with Peru, which provided amazing views of the lake. Copacabana´s town center gave us colorful welcome as many car pilgrammers come to visit the elaborate cathedral to ask for blessings of safe travels throughout the year. Many cars throughout town were covered with flowers, ribbons and other ornaments. It was cool.
We are heading to the highest city in the world today, Potosi. If you have any Bolivia travel suggestions we are open, we know there is a lot to see and our travel road is open. The benefits I have found in traveling in Bolivia is that it is so dirt cheap, we stayed in what I would consider a 3-4 star hostel overlooking the lake with a breathtaking view the past two days, $18 a night. Until the next internet cafe, my love to all.....gotta catch the bus!
