Recovering in Copacabana

Phoning Home with Some Help From New Friends Today was a laid back day. We basically just enjoyed our nice hotel room with the view and explored the town a bit.

This morning I called home to let my mom know that we had made it to Bolivia. It was hilarious. As soon as I got in the phone booth I was joined by about seven five-year-olds. They stayed for the whole conversation and talked to each other about how the phone worked.

Back at the room we caught up on some writing. With all the traveling we have really fallen behind. Being sick doesn’t help either. Tonight for dinner we had fondue at the restaurant at the hotel. There was lots of food and only $10 for both of us. You can’t beat that. At dinner we also ran into the same German couple, Tilman and Iris, that we had hiked Huachu Picchu with. It seems like a lot of tourists are following same route through Peru and Bolivia, and everyone has their Lonely Planet.

The power went out as there was a huge lightning storm as we were going to bed. We stayed up for a bit with candles but eventually just called it a night as we watched lightening bolts strike all over the lake from our bed.
