Day 73: Copacabana, Bolivia

Early Sunday morning, Dan and I headed to Cusco with our friend Stefano. The trip required a stopover, so we chose to spend our day in Copacabana. Before we could get there, we had to exit the bus so we, and the bus, could separately cross over a body of water.

We then got back aboard the busand made our way to Copacababana. This tiny town sits along the enormous and beautiful Lake Titicaca. Because of the look and feel of the area, we all felt as though we were in a beach community.

Shortly after arriving, the three of us took advantage of the weather by renting a swan-shaped boat to take out on the lake. I entrusted the paddling to they boys while I enjoyed my view from the back seat.

Afterward, we went to a rooftop restaurant for lunch where we spent the next few hours eating, drinking, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Once we had our fill of the sun, we went into a cafe to drink some coffee and watch a bit of football. The guys wanted to go on a short hike after that, but I was so beat up from biking the day before that I opted to stay put. It worked out well for everyone...they got amazing panaramic views of Copacababana and I was gifted with a rare opportunity to watch the Steelers play (and crush their opponents).

 It was a nice relaxing day, and by 6:30, we were back on a bus that took us out of Bolivia and into the last country we would be traveling to: Peru.
