Lago Titticaca

Hello hello, i just spent an amazing 2 days in the lake titticaca. It was amazing. They have preserved their culture there. The first day i went to the floating ilands, Uros, they litteraly make them alldays out of these plants, otherwise they would sink. Then i went to Amantari, another iland andspent the night there with a local family. They were very poor but lovely. I was there with a French couple, Anne and Emmanuel, they are really fantastic people. The family gave us traditional food and in the evening we were dressed up in the local costumes, needless to say i looked ridiculous in it. But then they took us to a dance and thought us local dances all evening. It was great.
The next day i went to Taquili, another iland, where the men go around knitting! and they have old dresses. The clothes tell of age and matrial status, very funny but beautiful clothes.
Tomorrow i am off to Bolivia, first Cobacabana and then La Paz.
Take care. Stella
