Today we joined with 300,000 Peruvians and several thousand tourists in celebrating Independence Day. We saw another parade-type-thing on the top of a small island where we had gone via a boat this morning. We also met some great characters who live on floating islands and learned about how they make the islands, maintain them, and keep them from floating away. Overall it was a great lake experience ... and we did get a chance to get away from the Bay of Puno and get a better sense of just how huge this lake really is. We were also able to see an island that is in Bolivia as well as the snow-covered peaks well across the way.
That´s all we have for now ... but don´t worry, we´ll have much more to share when we get to Rio in a couple of days ... and plenty of pictures and stories to tell when we get back to the States.

Have fun. love you. MA
