Caitlin and I on the Isla del Sol, Copacabana's main tourist attraction. And, after putting it off for four months, I must say absolutely worth the effort. It's outstandingly beautiful. Clear, almost tropical water with sandy beaches, give way to swooping and dramatic hills. With incredible views of the Cordillera Real (think the Olympics times five) in the background beyond the deep blues of the Lake, it's all really magnificent. We had the pleasure of doing the day tour with my sister and her friends who were visiting. Good times all around.
A shot of some spooky rock formations on the island. And, you know, the mountains too.
In a complete change of scenery, I'm not in the middle of the tundra, though the weather certainly felt like it (-20 celcius!), but rather in the vast salt flats outside of Uyuni. It was a totally mindblowing and disorienting place. Something of a salty moon land. The environment was completely different than anywhere I've ever been previous, or ever will be again. In a word, harsh. Dry, freezing, blindingly white, but somehow mysterious and magical.
On Fish Island in the middle of the salt flats, its a giant coral reef above ground dotted with massive, imposing cactus. Definitely surreal. Definitely the moon.
