Copa...Copacabana

We made it into Bolivia. One of the easiest border crossings yet. And we´re still at Lake Titicaca, which apparently means grey (or stone) puma in Quechua (not what we know ´caca´means in Spanish...though it´s still funny...and apparently there´s a Lake Poopo as well? Maybe I am 5 years old. ).

I´ve had the song Copacabana in my head, all the way to Copacabana. Sadly I know but two lines of the song, which doesn´t make for interesting singing. For anyone. We´re off to Isla del Sol tomorrow, apprently where the Sun God was born? Then to La Paz, a dizzying 4000+m above sea level (the de facto capital of Bolivia - Sucre is the constitutional capital). And we also happened to catch the last vestiges of Independence Day partying (6 August), which we also managed to catch in Peru too (27-28 July)! Lots of firecrackers. And music. And random parades!

And as I´m lazy and haven´t uploaded photos, here´s some photos that Adam, who was on the same trek as we, posted: http://adamlawler.blogspot.com/2009/08/inca-trail-lotsa-pics.html! And a photo shamelessly lifted from Adam´s blog above...
