My first day with family Golac was filled with many exciting adventures... The first part of our day we spent exploring Lago (Lake) San Jancinto, except this time we decided to go for a boat ride out onto the lake. At first it was slightly terrifying because life jackets here are pieces of fabric filled with four pieces of foam... not to mention that the lake unfortunately is extremely polluted and filled with many different kinds of carnivorous fish. But once we got out to about the middle of the lake we began to really enjoy ourselves. Upon returning to shore, we stopped at one of the many tiny restaurants for a mixed plate of crabs and tiny fish. The photo of my hand holding something is a crab I ate shortly after the photo. Personally I prefer the tiny fish which we eat whole, head and tail included. Despite eating two plates of seafood, as always here in Bolivia, lunch is still the biggest meal of the day and so we headed to another restaurant closer to town to eat our main meal. Sopa de Mani (peanut soup, my favorite) and Pique (A dish of meat, french fries, hotdogs, peppers, onions, tomatoes and hard boiled egg, orignially and best made in another city in Bolivia, Cochabamba) was shared between Emi and I. It was a fantastic first day and a wonderful beginning to the weeks to come. :)
