A young boy plays on Lake Titicaca's Isla Taquile as a thunderstorm rolls in.

I snapped this photo of a young boy in traditional local dress during our home-stay on Lake Titicaca’s Isla Taquile. He was playing with several other children in the island’s Plaza de Armas, or main square. The children took turns climbing to the roof of this building and dropping things down to the others below. Their game was cut short, however, when a dramatic storm rolled in across the lake and forced everyone inside.

About The Time-Crunched Traveler

Ellen first traveled overseas at age 15 when her father insisted upon sending her on a school trip to Germany. And that’s when it happened: high atop Switzerland’s Mt. Pilatus, she was bitten by the travel bug and has never quite recovered. Since then, she has traveled to 34 countries on five continents. She currently resides in New England and continues to hold her father responsible for all the money she has spent on travel since that first trip to Europe.
