Bolivia (La Paz, Coroico)

Some new (non chinese) tires welcome me to La Paz
Descending to the center after dark
Silpancho - It doesnt get much worse
La Paz


Plaza de Estudiantes
In-N-Out ? Saltenas ?
Jose Mamani assures me my new travel guitar will be ready tomorrow

The mirador playground
for a spectacular sunset view of Mt. Illumani
and a bit of chess
back to pickup Jose
The McKenzys got er one too
immediately put to good use
'Baila baila la bamba...'
a meager beginning
turns to big buck and pizza after moving to the plaza
Taking the chinese bikes on a test drive to Valle de la Luna

this guy were very cool

experiments in cooking
Real Canadian pancakes

La Cumbre and the start of 'The World_s Most Dangerous Road'
Its all downhill from here
the first incident
the second
the third (dissassembly by force)
the 'Extreme' tourist option
safety helmets and jackets provided


Coroico
where I am lucky enough to experience a festival








looking back on 'the road'
a quiet back street
a moment of spanish passion
the market
the festival continues through the night
quieting down the next morning
trips to refill the ron
taking a rest
and a piss
but we weren__t the only crazies
The Dave Incident
entertaining the kids
brothers

and the adults alike
the almuerzos of pollo sajhta and candy beer
some good times were had in Coroico

an otherwise tranquil nest in the mountains
the 3 waterfalls nearby
a bit more like a project in plumbing


the dog that followed me
the biggest millipede I ever saw
The diversion through Chairo
to the Estacion Biologic
with Professor Fraja
a bird scientist
