Since we arrived in Puno, we have been busy. We just got back from a trip recommended to us by Andrea and Bruce. We took a boat out to lake titicaca where we spent a few hours on islands made entirely of reeds. Even the houses are made of reeds. Its kind of weird to walk on them.
After that we spent the night on an island at the home of a local. We do not speak much spanish and they do not speak any english. They cooked all our meals and smiled alot, the room was nice but very rustic.
Special Edit: I forgot to mention that the house we stayed at had 5´high door ways. I was playing soccer with one of the son´s of the family we stayed with while Marla went to get the camera. She turned around and hit her head so hard it knocked her flat on her bum. She claims to have had a concusion!!! So far she has no memory loss or slipped into a coma:)
The next moring we toured another island and made our way home to Puno.
We also met some very cool people on the trip including a couple from Whistler!!
Tomorrow we try to goto Bolivia, there are strikes at the border so they told us it might be tough to get to Copacabana and we should go direct to La Paz but we are determined to try our luck. Wish us well.
