Lake Titicaca, Peru

Nick, Amelie and I made our way to country number four on our trip, Peru. For Amelie and I, the three hour bus ride was made extra uncomfortable when we were singled out to leave our seats and sit on little wooden benches on the floor. The bus was over booked and it was a mystery to us why we were chosen to sit in the isle... But anyway... we made it safely to Puno, Peru. The following day we began a two day tour of the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca.
Our first stop was the floating Uros Islands. People actually live on floating island made of reed roots covered with dried reeds.

We then spent the night with a Quechua family on the island of Amantani. We ended up venturing a little farther into the world of Gringo Tourism than we would have liked...

Eleanor, that picture of you is HOT! You have to bring back one of those costumes, to wear out dancing... You'll have all the boys eating out of your hand.
