pictures from october 11-18, 2008

i was talking to my mom on the phone the other night and she said that she looked at the pictures from my previous post and loved them. her only complaint: why were there so few pictures? i explained that all those are just from the first ten days of my trip. that seemed to appease her. and so i weeded through another week of pictures and here they are...

biked around the colca canyon with an american couple. they had the good camera and took most of the pictures and I'm still waiting for pictures from them. in the meantime, this is what i got.

lake titicaca is the world's highest navigatable lake. there are artificial islands made of stacked reeds that people live on and i visited one of those islands.
