After the Salt Flats we went to La Paz and then to Isla Del Sol on Lago Titicaca. We hung out for a week in La Paz and got into a nice routine of going to the market in the morning for breakfast and enjoying the city.

The night view of the city from our friends house on the outskirts.

 |
| La Paz street art of a shoe shiner. The shoe shiners wear masks to hide thier identity. A lot of times they are university students or merchants trying to make some extra money but dont want to be seen by people they know. |
 |
| These are Llama fetuses in the witches Market. Some people bury them in the foundation of their house for good luck. The witches market had lots of other potions as well, mainly for matters of love. |
 |
| Cholita street art. |
 |
| This is the market that we would get breakfast at every morning. We would start with an egg and avocado sandwich then get these giant Maracuya (Passion Fruit) drinks. It was amazing. |
 |
| This is our juice lady! |
On to Lake Titicaca!
 |
| Our bus being taken across part of the lake on the sketchiest ferry I have ever seen. |
 |
| This is Copacabana, we stayed here for a night before going to Isla Del Sol. A beautiful town on Lake Titicaca. |
 |
| More nice street art. |
 |
| We got some heavy rains while in Copacabana. |
 |
| My favorite mattress yet, this is a tent that is stuffed with grass! |
 |
| Headed to the island! |
 |
| Isla Del Sol in the distance. |
 |
| Local woman rowing near the island. |
 |
| Local women walking on the trail system that goes across the island. Its amazing how much the carry on their backs, long distances, in these blankets at 13,000 feet. |
 |
| We hiked on a trail that was on a ridge, we got awesome 360 views. |
 |
 |
| Our hostel had a great view and was less than $10 a night! |
 |
| Leaving the island the next morning. |
 |
| Copacabana in the distance. |
 |
| Copacabana has many trout restaurants, so we took full advantage. Our stomaches paid the price later. |
