Tequile Island

After breakfast, we went to the boats to head for Tequile Island... here the women wear black head scarves, but the embroidery on their clothing is gorgous! click on the picture to get a closer look at her blouse...Both men and women spin.
We were to hike up the mountain where we would have lunch and then back down. Along the way, Silvia pointed out certain plants and what they were good for. One plant we picked along the way was good for the altitude. We were around 14,000 ft and climbing upwards is no easy feat. Coca leaves and this other plant were blessings to have.
Along the way, there would be these doorways or arches... gateways :-)
Yep. Along the way we met a cow
