My trip to Bolivia

Arriving in La Paz

We have finally arrived in La Paz, Bolivia. We will be staying in a nice cheap hotel. The hotel is placed on the outskirts of La Paz and if you look behind the hotel you can see all of La Paz. Tomorrow we plan to take a bus and go see Lake Titicaca. For now the sun is setting and I plan to lay down on the fluffy twin size bed here.

To Peru

Well, it is a new day and I really feel up to taking a bus to Lake Titicaca. When we leave the hotel we are suddenly swept up by a large group of people. It is market day. As we get nearer to the market I begin to smell the spiciness of the chilies and all the different herbs. I walk by a man selling bananas and I decide to buy two bunches of bananas. The bananas are sweeter and smaller than the ones in the United States and I like them a whole lot more. Finally we find a bus that will take us to Lake Titicaca.

The bus is crowded with tons of people, but it will take us to where we want to go which is good. The bus took us to Lake Titicaca on the borderline, right next to Peru. We then walk to Peru, since the bus dropped us off at the borderline. There we past inspection and are now free to go wherever we want to in Peru. We then take a bus that is waiting there for anyone that comes from Bolivia. Once we are on the bus we make our way to Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca has dark blue water and is absolutely beautiful. We find a man selling boats out of reeds for forty dollars. He says it takes about one or two days to make a boat. We decide to buy one, so that we can take it out to test it. It is hard at first to steer the boat, but eventually I get the hang of it.
Along the coast there are lots of houses and people working. There are also lots of trees and birds. In the water if you look closely you can see lots of big and small fish swimming around. Since it is evening we take a bus to Cuzco where we will stay for the night.

Off to Machu Picchu

We spent the night in Cuzco, the king city of the Incan Empire. We shall start the day off by going the the ruins of Machu Picchu by train. When I finally got there it was an amazing site. The ruins were amazing and when I went on top of a ziggurat, the view was amazing. As I went up I counted all of the step and there was a total of ninety-one. Tonight I will be flying to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
