Copacabana
I'm in Bolivia. In the town of Copacabana, on Lake Titicaca. It is BORING. Seriously. You'd think a town called Copacabana would be at least a little bit interesting, but no. I mean, sure, the lake is pretty, but, you know, so are a lot of lakes. I ...

Day 47 – Bums in Copacabana
Sometimes, after being on the road as long as we have, you just need a break. I remember how overwhelming it was in the start of our trip to be inundated with Spanish speakers all around. I think we've come a long way, but it’s still necessary to ...

Bolivian Border = Pain In the Ass
