math is a useful skill

i am in bolivia. walked accross the border this afternoon, which was surreal. now i have to figure out the currency exchange for bolivianos, which i can´t get straight.

this morning i went to the uros islands which are manmade floating reed islands in lake titicaca. the boat ride was nice. but once you saw the islands there wasn´t much to do.

copacabana has a good vibe. wish i could stay longer. i feel like i saw so many things today, but they were all small, and boring to describe. a two hour collectivo ride next to a cute and very dirty indigenous baby, agrarian landscape for miles, changing currency at an informal booth in the middle of a town square.

oh and i can´t stop eating. for two days i´ve been eating everything i can get my hands on. this must end.

looking forward to my sleeping bag and my very pretty hostel room for 10 bolivianos.

Two weeks! You've been there for two weeks! and still have Two more to go... Does it feel like time is going fast or slow? You are doing so many things! But at the same time you have been in places where time passes slowly. Hope the rest of the trip is as exciting and enjoyable as the first half.
