La Paz, Bolivia: Day 1
Posted by Jonathan, July 14th, 2010
Basically we just walked around La Paz today and tried to get our lungs accustomed to being at 12,000ft. Here are our photos
View from our hotel
You know you´re in Bolivia when even the news anchors wear bowler hats
Cassie´s first Bolivian meal!
The famous llama fetuses. When you build a house, you are supposed to bury one under the foundation for good luck. We don´t know how these are created, and don´t want to know.
Plaza Murillo
Market in La Paz
We ran into some sort of cultual thing. There were 20 groups from each of the 20 cultures of bolivia playing in front of the presidential palace. There was a whole set of stands full of politicians. Every time one of the politicians would get up to dance, everyone would cheer. But we had now idea who any of these people were. I did learn that the ladies in bowler hats and Incan dresses can dance really well.
