Bookcrossing in Bolivia

After leaving Peru, we crossed the border to Copacabana, a town on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca.  It is a beautiful place, one where you could easily lose yourself for a few weeks.  Our hostel, a rather strange run down hotel, had views to the lake.  From Copacabana, it was a bus - boat - bus to the capital, La Paz.

Hostal Mirador (Copacabana)
I left Papillon and picked The Trial in Portuguese.

Cafe Pueblo Viejo , in Copacabana, where we sat killing time before our bus.  It had one of those 2 for 1 exchanges, but as I saw 2 great books, I had to trade.
I left:
1. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - picked up in Lima, quite a hoot.
2. Canal Dreams - set in Panama
3. North and South (Penguin Classics) - great to finally read this, after seeing the TV adaptation
4. The Fragrance of Guava (Faber Caribbean) - conversations with Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Picked up:
Pantaleon - from a great Peruvian writer (in Spanish to practice)
Bad times in Buenos Aires
- travel lit about Buenos Aires, where I should be in a week.
