After having a bit of fun in La Paz, we headed out for Lake Titicaca...we stayed only on the Bolivian side of the lake. We booked a hotel on the Isla del Sol that we actually had to hike a couple miles to get to, but the views were great and so was the weather. We rented a boat to take us around the lake the next day. Overall, a nice relaxing time around the lake was had by all.
We were able to see some reed boats made out of Totora reeds, explore some ruins on small islands on Lake Titicaca, and enjoy the views and some family time atop Isla del Sol.

We hiked to the top of "Isla del Sol" (Island of the Sun) on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca...this is the village that we found there...our hotel/villa was another quarter mile outside of town on the top of the mountain.
