THE PARENTHESES PHILOSOPHY

Parentheses Lodging:
Cabins in Copacabana, Bolivia
More about Parentheses cabins...
It looks like a traditional adobe cabin on the outside. The inside includes modern conveniences such as high-speed wi-fi, satellite TV with HBO, Cinemax and 130 other channels (most of which can be switched between Spanish and English), a microwave and an espresso maker.
Unlike other lodging options in Copacabana, we like to think that a stay here is a cultural experience in and of itself. You'll find yourself surrounded by herds of sheep and pigs as well as Bolivians in traditional dress taking their llamas out to graze.
The bedroom is a loft with a double bed surrounded by candles for a romantic evening. Or just in case the power goes out. There is a 32-inch flat screen TV with 130 satellite channels (most of which can be switched between English and Spanish) including HBO, Cinemax and Sundance.
This is the living room. Who needs exposed brick when you have exposed adobe, right? 
We used natural materials as much as possible in the house. As a result, the bathroom turned out kind of Zen. Namaste! 
The kitchen includes a microwave and free espresso bar. The fridge is stocked with beer, wine, and homemade entrees that can be purchased for an oh-so-reasonable cost.
Here are some of the neighbors.

Adult slide anyone? Makes going to the bathroom in the middle of the night so much easier. But mostly it's tons of fun.
There is a small office area with a desk for writing or simply using the high-speed wi-fi. Did I mention that it's the fastest wi-fi in Copacabana? Okay, remember we're in Bolivia, so don't get your hopes up too high.
My husband and I collected pebbles from the shores of Lake Titicaca to create our rock shower floor. It was a lot of backbreaking work. You're welcome. :-)
This is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. As long as you don't bump your head on the ceiling in the morning (it is a loft, after all) you'll swear it was the best night's rest of your life. Unless the sheep keep you up. Or the roosters. But the mattress? Fabulous!
The loft window has a view of Lake Titicaca. Somehow I can never get enough of those cerulean blue waters. Or maybe they're cornflower blue? Cobalt hued?
