So, I finally braved the Peruvian computers once again to upload some pictures. Sorry they’re not too exciting — the next ones should be better.
Our boat trip to Isla Taquile on Lake Titicaca (pronounced Titi-haha by the natives) was pretty awesome. We saw some man-made floating islands, hiked a bit (we’re over the soroche, thank you very much), and took a lot of pictures. The most notable part of Isla Taquile were the floppy hats that the people wear — different colors to indicate different marital status. If only it were that easy at home…
On a more somber note, those of you following the Peruvian news may have seen that there was a horrible bus crash yesterday where 13 people died and 40 were injured (at least according to my bad Spanish). The crash was on the same route we took — we passed by soon after it happened. I don’t have anything profound to say about it, but just want to let everyone know that we’re safe and sound.
In any case, we’re off to Cuzco tomorrow to visit Machu Picchu, etc. Adios!
