All is well here in Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. Â Clouds were covering most of the mountain range on our way to the shore. Â We stopped by Senior Paulino’s place to check out a few Reed Boats and shake his hand. Â Senior Paulino is the last original reed boat builder of the Ra I and Ra II. Â It looks like it might be snowing up high but the team enjoyed a dry day and great walk around town, sunset on the hill overlooking the Lake and town, and a good dinner. Â A lightning show on the other side of the Lake in Peru helped light our way home. Â Tomorrow, we will get up early and take a boat ride to Isla Del Sol (Sun Island), go for a hike and eat lunch on the lake.
