Bolivia (Sucre, Potosi, Tupiza)

Welcome to Sucre, capital of Bolivia


Welcome to Sucre, capital of Bolivia

churches on every corner
stroll through the cemetary
where all the old presidents live

row after row

aisle after aisle
a re-arranging of the shrine



where i was assaulted with a knife for tasting one blackberry
A nice Pollo Ckoclo from a balcony in the plaza,15b
graduation rehersals
breakfast at the mirador before heading off
'the place' to film campaign propaganda
me and the next mayor
La Glorieta - an old palace on the way out of town

an impressive old stone suspension bridge
refixing my first flat (chinese glue patch came off)
Eran (Israeli #2) lugging the largest pack i ever seen
Potosi - Miners coking up for another day

of work in the ancient silver mines



shrine deep inside the mountain


the light at the end of the tunnel
happy, but not apparently so with our offer of 20b and a pack of cigarettes
up to the jesus
Potosi
radio jesus
volcanic crater hotspring nearby
enroute to Tupiza
down from the altiplano
to a desert

Tupiza - where i took a 2 day horse tour
with a couple ornary girls of germany and new zealand
her better side
out of town
through the suburbs
and across the desert
The Devil_s Door
very New Mexico


a few drinks, a few songs, and a heated game of Yahtzee (notice the german accountant)
Day 2 - back along a different route
The La Torre Hotel gang
and their new website www.LaTorreHotel.biz
and me
onward toward Uyuni
On a little known road perhaps more scenic then the horse route

and certainly less painful

back to the high mountain plain
Atocha
a train-stop sulphur-mining town
where i stopped for lunch
