Today, we spent all day out on Lake Titicaca, visiting two islands. The first was one of the floating islands of the Uros people. These islands were so cool! They are entirely made out of reeds. The islands are literally anchored to the bottom of the lake, otherwise they will float away. Everything on the islands is made from the reeds – the houses, boats, beds, look out tower – everything! The ground was springy understep, and you can see the fresh reeds that the people put down from time to time when the reeds underneath begin rotting away. I can´t wait to get some pictures from today up – I may try tomorrow, but I forgot the USB adapter I need for my camera.
I know this is short today – I am tired, and just don´t feel up to the challenge of describing the amazing things we saw today. Tomorrow morning we leave Peru, and cross back over into Bolivia. I´ll try to find an Internet place there, with my USB adapter, and upload some pictures. Ciao!
