o we were finally able to leave La Paz. We searched for some washer fluid only to find out that they just use water, after some interesting conversations. It was good to hit the open road again, get out of the craziness of the city. We headed west for the town of Tiahuanaco, one of the great archaeological sites of Bolivia. Before you fall asleep, I will tell you that this site is thought to be older than dirt itself. That´s right folks, this place is old.
The civilization was around 2,000 years before the beginning of time, OK, maybe just BC, but it sounds better the other way. The civilization died out around 200 years prior to the Incan civilization. The site was impressive and our guide was great. He referred to me as Mr. Matthew the whole time.
The site has some impressive characteristics that I won´t bore you to death with. We were able to finish up around lunch time and head for the highest navigable lake in the world, and one of my favorite words.
As to not cross into Peru only to cross back into Bolivia, we had to drive around Lake Titicaca and cross the straight via a ferry.
This was no ordinary ferry, it was high class. Our Captain, age 13, navigated the straight with impressive skill and vigilance. We made it across and into Copacabana for the night.
The views at sunset were, as you can see, phenomenal, and we headed to bed.
