A Few Shots of Copa


There are sunsets like this literally every night. It's an incredible thing here, the end of a day. We go from frost and a serious nip in the air in the early morning, to profusely sweating in the shade at about 3 pm. Next is the nightly water color spectacle over the lake and finally a deep chill as soon as the sun finally disappears. Lovely bookends to a day, really.

Locals joke that there are 360 holidays a year in Copa. I seriously don't doubt it. There seems to be occassion to drink and miss school nearly every day. Sometimes this is problematic, sometimes they fill the main square with flower petals in these pretty and ornate designs. Just glad I don't have to get an education here.
