After dragging ourselves away from La Paz, we made a day long pit stop in Copacabana to see the highest navigable lake in the world — Lake Titicaca. I have no idea what the name translates to, but the obvious gutter jokes make for a lot of laughs. The town of Copacabana is quite lovely [...]
What happens when a bunch of Aussies, an American, and a non-English speaking Bolivian guide jump in a jeep for 3 days? Other than almost losing their minds by the third day (said jeep: comfy at first, cramped by the end), they chew a lot of cocoa leaves (for the altitude) in between stopping to [...]
It was in Salta, Argentina that I learned how butterflies mate. Incredibly curious.

A few random shots taken with the handy Diana camera.
I took these fotos back in early May when my father and brother came for a visit to Brooklyn. There are 3 things my father must do when in New York City (written out and capitalized here for the sake of the tourist in us all): 1. he must go to “Seaport” (there is no [...]
