We walked from Peru to Bolivia today - at least the 100 yards right at the border. I don't know why you can't ride across on the bus but you can't and I wasn't about to make a scene, although Meghan and Helen probably would have enjoyed it. The imigration office was uneventful... we had read and heard that we would need proof of travel itenarary and extra photos (which we didn't have) but it went smoothly, just costly. Americanos pay $135 US to cross into Bolivia when other nationalities pay fractions of that. Some sort of retribution for acts that I am not aware of.... Bart, some help here please. Anyway, we stood in our own special line for Americans (proud, not embarassed), paid the cash and here we are!
Our route today followed
Lake Titicaca with a stop in Copacabana for lunch, a ferry ride, and then following the giant snow capped peaks that we could see from the Peruvian isles of Amantini and Taquile.
We are in La Paz for the evening. Weren't planning on staying here but we got in a little late and were unable to move on to Croico today. In the short time here in taxis and on foot, I may want to spend an extra day exploring.... we have to pass back through on our way south and may have an extra day.
