Copacabana and nearby La Paz, la loca
Friday, February 3rd, 2006
We crossed the border from Peru to Bolivia and reached the town of Copacabana while it was in the midst of a festival, the Fiesta de la Virgen de Candelaria.
There were many groups of different dancers. Each group had its own type of costume.
To get from Copacabana to La Paz, you have to cross a river. There’s no bridge there. There’s no ferry either. They do, however, have these rickety boats for you to drive aboard. Oh sure, they probably have insurance. (not!)
La Paz is not exactly as peaceful as the name suggests. A frenetic city with lots of good walking. However, we have put in some time at the internet cafe and have posted a bunch of new pictures. Check them out, they are fresh.
Tomorrow we head a little downhill to Coroico.
