Pictures to go with the words

This is the floating islands in Lake Titicaca of the Uros culture. Each of these little islands is made from reeds (I think I talked about it before).
This is the sunset at the top of a mountain on the island of Amantani (titcaca, Peru side). It was on this island that we stayed with a local family for the night.
We went to a fiesta all dressed up in the local wear. It was a bit hokey (I think that's obvious) but we got our exercise with their crazy running/dancing. I would like to defend my hefty appearance by saying that I am wearing a HELL of a lot in this picture!
This is the family we stayed with. Clayton has recently taken Alice's growing mushrooms and become a giant.
The rinky sailboat! There wasn't much wind so we had to get out of the bay using Clayton Power.
