For the first time ever we got the view of Lake Titicaca from the Bolivian side from Copacabana, Bolivia. We crossed the border and then spent a few days in Copacabana, the town that has the National Basilica of Bolivia with the devotion to the Virgen of Copacabana, and also has day trips you can take to the nearby islands, Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna. We spent a beautiful day crossing part of the lake to explore both of these islands, and also Al took advantage to go for a swim despite the extremely cold water. The funny part was that when he jumped in, many locals gathered around and started taking pictures of him, the tourist had become the tourist attraction. Al also shares his personal reflections about the medical mission that we recently completed in Ayaviri, Peru.
