slept well at the Hotel Reposteria where our room came with a firm comfortable bed
a wooden statue
mural at the Plaza de Folklorica
a statue in honor of the miners
the Museum of Mines
a real mine at one time, the entry into the museum meant climbing down a long dark stairrway...
what they were mining for...
it was cold, dark and clammy
el tio, sort of a devil god that the miners prayed to and brought offerings
one of possibly 30 or so alters found throughout the mine
light at the end of the tunnel
a message for Evo (the President), “thank you for the inflation”
a funny rocket like building in the background of the main square, Plaza 10 de Febrero
a fountain at the main square
ladies hanging out in the fountain
a demonstration
protesting the violent arrest of some woman
the juice stalls at the mercado
one of many local transportation options
is that Chinese?
a visit to the hot springs at Obrajes
a private bathing room
local transportation means cramming 15 into a mini-van with a max capacity of 8. but we had fun chatting with Rosa...
and her sister Luz Angeles, from La Paz
teens dancing to Christian videos on the street
