We arrived yesterday morning in El Alto Airport, met Christopher, drank our coca tea, and after some deep breaths we passed through customs and immigration and boarded our bus at dawn. A beautiful sunrise greeted us as we drove accross the Altiplano to Lake Titicaca. Our day at the shores of the Lake was a perfect relaxed introduction to Bolivia. We took a long midmorning siesta (nap), ate great food, walked slowly around town, sailed in small boats in the afternoon, went over logistics, and shared our initial thoughts and expectations for the journey. Our day ended just as it began: with a stunning sunset.
We are now back in El Alto Airport waiting for our flight to Rurrenabaque. A bit of rain from a ¨Surazo¨ (southern front) has delayed our flight a bit, but as we say in Bolivia, ¨Todo es posible, nada es seguro¨--everything is possible, nothing is certain!
Check back soon for photos!
