La Paz

Now Im in La Paz - the capital of Bolivia which is by the way the highest capital in the world. However, since Potosi is the highest town in the world and after my last trip, Im fine and dont suffer anymore from altitude.
We splited with Curro as he has 2 weeks of traveling left and had to rush ahead to Lake Tikitaca and Cusco.
La Paz is extremely touristic place: everything for tourists, incredible amount of shops with artisan crafts. But its ok. a bit of easy life. And it feels like a capital. People are more up to date would say.
There is an incredible amount of travellers from Israel. Dont know why. But even there is lots of signs in hebrew. By the way there is more internet caffes and AMT machines in Bolivia than anything else. Then its so easy to eat in the street what I do sometimes, we tried all the local markets with Curro and no stomach problems or whatsever. Now Im laughing at all the advices and paranoias I read about before departure.

Monia,

I just realised that it's already been more than a month since you left London!!! We miss you here enormously (yes, we do!!!), but reading your blog I know that you are having time of your life and I am very happy for you:). It seems that you've experienced more within a month than me during the whole life! BTW, how is Skrzyp polny?
