Isla del sol: well put

---

This is a retrospective entry for the last few days before taking off to Indonesia a month ago...

12-6-07: The best sunset of my life to date. I took a shuttle boat from Copacobana to the Isla del Sol on Lago Titicaca, which in addition to bringing back to the elementary school playground days name is a magical place. I got to the lake at 0930 and packed my stuff to the most distant corner of the island, and stumbled upon a beach hidden from the hills above by an overhanging cliff. There I found what could only be described as a fairy tale beach: ornate multicolored pebbles and geometric base rock, the greenest algae, the ripest fruit (I brought this), hundreds of titicaca terns (that´s what I call them anyway), some migratory ducks, an electric sky that seemed to burn forever, me, and my bivy sack.

Carving or Geo?
Found this in a layer of rock jutting out into the lake

Colorful rocks
I wanted to bring about a hundred home but having hauled 20kg of firewood over the hill I decided against it.

Spent several hours here...
