At ease in Copacabana

We spent three days in Copacabana relaxing along the shores of Lake Titicaca. During the first afternoon, we sat in hammocks, read our books, gazed down at the town from the hillside, and I chewed a few coca leaves to numb my mouth. The following day, was spent wondering and sitting along the hillside, watching the sun move closer towards the horizon, and speaking to one another about the highlights of the trip. Our last two nights at the hotel were spent in a private cabin; we had our own living room and kitchenette where we drank wine and watched the sunset. Late in the afternoon, on our third day, we rented a sailboat and let the wind take us around the bay for a couple hours with a local kid from the village. Throughout our stay here, we enjoyed the sounds of drums echoeing in the valley below to commemorate La Dia del Mar. We slept well and enjoyed the sun. It was very beautiful in Copacabana.
