Manmade Reed Islands of Lake Titicaca, between Peru and Bolivia:

[mnhtnbb]

13. I was there in 2009. We went out to the floating islands

Our guide did a "show and tell" of how the islands are constructed using reeds. We took a ride in the reed boat. Watched some of the women making crafts from the reeds. Brought a mobile home that is hanging in my study where I can look at it and take myself back to that day.

Here's a view of the islands with the afternoon sun shining on them



And a woman embroidering a hanging to sell to tourists (see the mobiles hanging in the upper left of this photo)



And a shot of the mobile this tourist purchased which is now hanging in my study.



With a close up to show the detail in the bottom reed boat with the male and female figure.
