Last night in Bolivia

So it's a cold and rainy night in La Paz as we pack our bags, drink one last Bolivian beer, and wander around the streets trying to soak it all in (Bolivia that is, not the cold-ass rain). Fortunately we had much better weather during our last few days along Lake Titicaca. Copacabana was gorgeous. Isla del Sol was gorgeous and fascinating. We only wish we had more time to walk along the beach, eat fresh trout, visit ancient Incan and Tihuanacan ruins, and stare at 20,000 ft. snow covered peaks. It was a good way to finish up our time in Bolivia. Not only did we enjoy the beauty of this country, but we also strengthened our appetite to come back here. This trip may have been cut short, but I don't think our time in Bolivia is over. And that makes leaving a little easier.

So I guess this "Diario de Bolivia" is about over. We'll try to put up a few more pictures when we get home. Home. We'll be there tomorrow night. Back in the states where gas is now like $1.80 a gallon (it was about $4 when we left). Back in Illinois where our wonderful governor was just arrested on some pretty scandalous corruption charges (yay! I'm so proud).

So, hopefully we'll see all of you soon. Thanks for tuning in. Peace.
