Copacabana

The trip back from Uyuni was much better. Even though I had multiple layers of salt and dust all over me which a geologist could examine and date me to the late Jurassic, I slept quite fine on this trip ;).
Back in La Paz, we quickly made plans to jet for Copacabana after a quick shower and lunch. Viva Bolivia!

I am in Copacabana right now. Not the famous brazilian beach, although Ill be there soon enough. This one is a beatiful small town nestled beteen two rocky hills on the shore of Lake Titicaca.
I am about to go by boat to Isla del Sol, island of the sun, where the aymara and quechua people believe the sun and gods were born. There are ruins and idyllic villages there...There is a fat music festival starting new years eve and going for three days straight. Its going to be magical...and more magical for costing about 7$ us...haha everything here is dirt cheap, and life is great because of it. I just had the best breakfast of my life for about 4$...wonderful!
I also got some traditional shamanic music, which is going to be fantastic as well!

Also, Ive solidified accomodations in Cuzco and Rio for Carnival! I was a bit worried about the latter, as every hotel is alrteady booked up! My plan was to just buy a hammock and sleep on the beach! But now, I have a place to styay to I might not need to do that, although might anyway beacuse it sounds fabulous! Also, the farm near Rio told me to come thruough for a couple weeks and practice sustainable agricultre and teach children English! What a great opportunity! Some other guy invited me to go to the amazon to some sort of medical community. He said it would be cheap, which is great because he said the amazon is usually more expensive than going to the US!! Ill make the decision on way or another, but a bad time isgona be impossible to have!

Sigh...life is great!
