Finally arriving at Amantani Island - about 3 hours by boat from Puno in Lake Titicaca
Jane's and my home on the island - along with the host family - Alphonso, Agrippina , Edwin, Jenny and Jose (the 4 year old !)
Those are tiny potaoes drying in the sun ...
Little Jose who introduced Jane and I to all his toys ...
Husband Alphonso cutting up potatoes in the kitchen - warmest place in the house !
Another of Jose ...
Fresh muno (type of mint) for the great tea !
Local child ...
Another little one.... I can't resist a photo ...
That's the hill we are about to climb for the sunset ... great soccer field in foreground ... meanwhile we can shop some more
New Peruvian friends ...
Made it ! Incredible view - that is Bolivian mountains in background
Sitting atop the old Incan ruins at top for the sunset ...
Some music for the sunset ...
Dress up for the dancing ...
Our band for the night's festivities ...
Everyone dancing - hard to tell locals from visitors at first glance ...
This is where we start to discover that dancing at 4,000 m (about 13,000 ft) is harder than hiking ...
Nilton's entrance ...
My picture compliments of Jane
Love the black shawls - some beautiful embroidery ... and they are warm ! But don't you think the hiking boots and jeans add something (just not sure what !)
Showing us some local folk dances
ANother local folk dance
Jane (on left) - wake up time ..!!!
