Puno!


La Region de Puno contiene Lago Titicaca (puma-piedra en Quechua), que lo sabia del video con Donald Duck. Visite' durante un fin de semana con todos los estudiantes de my Ecela programa. 

The region of Puno contains Lake Titicaca (means puma-rock in Quechua) which I knew of from the Donald Duck cartoon. I visited during a weekend with all the students from my Ecela program.

Lago Titicaca: el lago mas alto del mundo./Esta en Peru y Bolivia./The highest lake (in elevation) in the world located in Peru and Bolivia.

Una casa muy rustico en Amantani. Crian los cuyes- ellos viven en la cocina!/A very rustic house. They raise guinea pigs (to eat)-they live in the kitchen.
Los servicios higienicos requieren que "flush" el inodoro por verter mucha agua del cubo abajo./The bathrooms required one to flush the toilet by pouring a lot of water from that bucket down the thing.

Encima del montana se llama Pachatata, el padre de la tierra, en el isla Amantani donde quedamos con familias locales/On top of Pachatata (Father Earth) mountain on the island of Amantani where we stayed with local families.
Las familias locales nos den una fiesta por la noche./The local families held a party for us.
Estamos bailando en la ropa tradicional para celebrar y calentarnos./We were dancing in traditional garb to celebrate our time with the locals and to keep warm. (I'm in the turquoise skirt and jeans).

Dia nueva, isla nueva. 500+ escaleras al pueblo en Taquile donde probe' (y disfrute'!) la trucha del lago./New day, new island- 500+ steps to the village in Taquile where I tried 9and enjoyed!) trout from the lake. 

Una isla flotante de Uros, hecho a mano. Increible! (Y modelos para El Gnomo a explorar.)/A floating island of Uros, made by hand. Increible! And there were models to demonstrate things which the Gnome explored.

Taxi! :)

Por fin, la ciudad de Puno fue muy fea. Pero Danielle y yo descubieron un mercado y exploraron./Finally, the city of Puno itself was ugly. But Danielle and I discovered a market (and a Wal-mart equivalent) and explored.
