Copacabana

Star gazing tonight on the roof of hostel all we could hear of the city was the howling of dogs that roam the city. It made me think in Vancouver you would often hear cars or perhaps the skytrain.

Sidney and I enjoyed a quite day in Copacabana today. We took the time to cook ourselves a breakfast in the communal kitchen before we headed off to explore the town.

I think the small colorful town on Lake Titicaca made us both feel as if we were in Greece. We spent the morning walking along the beach and eating our homemade sandwhiches. We had quite the startle when our new friend Charlie (a dog) stuck his big wet nose in behind us. He became our pal and guardian protecting us from cars, bikes, and other dogs that we passed.

In the afternoon we made our way up to the top of a hill that overlooks the city and is a sacred area for the community. We climbed slowly trying to catch our breath up the steep stairs... I think it's safe to say the altitude and plague (which may have be passed on to Sidney) was affecting us. The climb was worth it as it gave us a spectacular view of the area.

We spent the rest of the afternoon reading and making ourselves a delishes quinoa dinner with veggies. It was so refreshing to make our own healthy option.
