Bajamos una ruta muy inclinada, hasta el bote para cruzar Lago Titicaca y regresar a La Paz. Vi más cosas interestantes, como colinas pequeñas de heno para secar frijoles favas y papas secando en el sol. Cuando estaba en el coche, vimos una fiesta en la calle de muchas personas bailando. Ellos vistieron ropa muy interesante en colores brillantes con muchos detalles. Habían hombres que tocaron instrumentos musicales.
TRANSLATION: Walked around Isla del Sol in the morning. It’s like another world. I imagine few places have indoor plumbing or electricity. I saw many women walking with their animals, carrying things, like sticks, on their backs. One woman was with several donkeys and a pig that wanted to rest but the donkeys kept on going. She yelled at and whacked the pig with a stick to get it to move.
We descended to get to the boat to cross Lake Titicaca in order to return to La Paz. I saw fava beans drying under little hills of hay & potatoes drying in the sun. On the ride back to La Paz there was a party in the street of people dancing in magnificent, bright colored clothing. Men played musical instruments to accompany the dancers.
