We spent hours walking around La Paz. It is vibrant! First major stop was at the Bruja’s (witch’s) market for tapestries, etc. Second stop was the travel agent for the Salt Desert. After checking out several eating possibilities, we had a fine lunch at El Presidente Hotel. We stopped at the archaeological museum for the Tiwanaku artifacts, but it was closed for a month. It was not practical to travel to the Tiwanaku site.
We ran a bunch of errands in the city: Haircut & mani-pedi $13; money changing (7/1); and misc. purchases. Things are cheap in Bolivia – like going back 30 years relative to the $. We have been following Egyptian events and celebrate the people’s victory. We had another excellent dinner at the downstairs French restaurant.
We depart at 7AM tomorrow for Potosi and the Salt Desert.
