Here's lovely Caitlin enjoying our outing on the lake today. She refused to jump in the water.
Here's Jaron with, believe it or not, short hair. Also in the distance is Isla del Sol. Jaron did jump in the lake. He may or may not regret it.
So today we retrieved our friend Fatima's boat, which she keeps docked at Copacabana's Naval base. Yes, that' right. A landlocked country with a Navy. Boy do they keep the waters of Lake Titikaka patrolled and safe. Actually, the whole Navy appears to be nothing more than about 20 eighteen-year-old boys who alternate between wearing goofy 1940's Navy garb and drinking beer in dirty fatigues. Oh and officially stamping random papers. When Caitlin and I asked the Navy boys to get us the boat and bring some oars and life jackets, they honest to God took 45 minutes to move the boat about 20 yards. They didn't appear to know how to row very well and their fleet, or singular boat, looks something like a beat up swamp buggy from the 1970s. At least they have Jesus overlooking them in those dapper outfits.
A shot of town from the Naval base. It's way more beautiful and scenic in person. I promise.
