Nice Views in Bolivia

On Friday I just came back from a short trip to La Paz with 2 of our short term volunteers. We wanted to visit Tiahuanaco, one of the best sites in Bolvia for ruins and archaeology. We then spent a few days in Copacabana, a colonial city right on Lake Titicacca, which is part of the border between Bolviia and Peru. We spent a day on the Isla del Sol, which is a beautiful island in the middle of the lake. As well as the important part it plays in Andean spiritual history it also some of the best natural beauty that I have experienced here. Hiking around the island was a challenge but also very beautiful. I found at 49 it is hard to keep up with a 19 and 20 year old when one is a tri-athelete and the other a distance runner. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks when I get up for vacation. please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
