La Paz is awesome.

We are still in La Paz, which is a really cool city. Firstly, it is the world´s highest capital, sitting at around 4000 metres. Secondly, it sits inside of a huge bowl, with buildings reaching as high as they can on the hill. It looks amazing at night. Thirdly, the markets are crazy! There are parts of the market that take up 4 city blocks continuously. We got totally lost in it a couple of times, just wandering until we found the edge. Everything is super cheap; the exchange sits at 8 Bolivianos to the dollar, and we are buying gloves for 10, food for 12, accomodations for 27 each. It´s awesome.

Yesterday we did a bike trip on the "death road", which is considered the world´s most dangerous road. For bikes it is fine, but we saw many graves and crosses representing cars, some bikes or even entire busses that went over the edge. The worst was a bus of 50. We respected the road a little more after seeing that. It was a fun ride with some crazy views, and the descent from 4000 metres to 1300 gave us a good perspective of the levels of climate that Bolivia is known for. We ended up in Coroico, a jungle town, where we hung out at a cool hotel with a pool and buffet, which we obviously abused to no end.
Now we are trying to figure out where we are going next. We want to see a few more towns or cities in Bolivia, and we´ll have to sit down with a map and figure out where we have time/money to go.

The next update will probably be from another town, maybe Sucre or Cochabamba, and we will try to post more photos, but these computers are limited. There will be way more photos once we get into Chile. In any case, you´ll hear from us soon, and wish us luck with the busses this time....
