| Back in La Paz |
| AGAIN!!! I'm back in La Paz now...it was really sad leaving Potosi and saying goodbye to Zelida and my other friends. Traveled on the (actually paved!!!) road all night and got into La Paz at 5:30 in the morning, where I promptly found a hotel room and fell fast asleep. Met up today with Patricica and Tanya, some of my buddies from a few months ago. Tomorrow I'm going to spend some time with some of my other old buddies from the start of my trip...it should be great. In just a little bit I'm off to the Aymara New Year festival, marked by the winter solstance, the shortest day of the year. It's the New Year because after tonight, the Sun will come back. Kala Marca, the cool bolivian folklore band that I saw in Potosi, are going to be playing in the morning, and some dude on the street told me that National Geographic is going to film the concert it in the morning!!! WOOHOO!! YEEEAH, I'LL BE THEEEERE!!! God, I have NO idea how I'm going to stay up all tonight and watch the sunrise with everyone else...hopefully there'll be someone selling coffee at Tiwanaku, and lots of it. |
