Back from Bolivia!!!

I just returned today from Cocacobana, Bolivia and am now back in Puno. I have some awesome pictures that I took but I do not know when I will have the opportunity to upload them because I am headed back to my village, Chijnaya, tomorrow to catch the livestock show. It is a big deal and my family has two bulls they entered and I am pulling for a Yucra Quispe victory (the name of the family I am staying with.) Anyway, we came to Puno on Thursday, ate a nice dinner and had a nice warm shower. Then the next day we took a bus around the lake to Copacobana, which was about a three hour drive. We stayed at this really nice hotel for the night and went to Isla del sol (the biggest island on Lago Titicaca) and hiked to a laberinto and ate french fries and went back to Cocacabana where we enjoyed how cheap everything is in Bolivia. The exchange rate is about 7 bolivianos to 1 dollar, while in Peru it is 3 soles to 1 dollar. They also had great food and launched fireworks all night long. It was really fun and the lake/island is incredibly beautiful and worth seeing. I cannot wait to show you all pictures of it. Iam headed back to Chijnaya tomorrow and will not be doing any more travelling until I go to Machu Picchu in July. That means I will not have great internet for the next two weeks as I will be in Chijnaya for that period before leaving for Machu Picchu. I have less than a month left and look forward to meeting back up with you all in the upcoming weeks.

Hope all is well!
