Bolivia Bound

As a continued public service, for your video pleasure I will shoot out some more videos from South America. We had just left Peru and entered Bolivia. No more of that guinea pig eating, no sir, down here in Bolivia we rise to a higher standard. So if you have just bought a house in Bolivia get yourself to the market and buy a dried baby llama fetus or DBLF if you will. Then bury it in your back yard for good luck. I have to admit that every time I have buried a DBLF in my back yard I have had good luck for a week, makes me consider opening the first DBLF store in Nebraska.
Onto road construction. I have not figured this one out yet. Bolivia is a pretty conservative country. For the most part women do not have hold regular jobs, except selling food or goods in the market. We ran across these women doing road construction, maybe the traditional part is that they have to do it in their dresses. Martha Stewart can make some dandy Halloween crafts but I'd like to see her construct a road, or at least pour some concrete.


After LaPaz our next stop in Bolivia was Sucre. Sucre is the political center of Bolivia. This means that for a long time it was the capital and in theory it still is but in reality the capital is LaPaz because that is where all of the government is and where most commerce is taking place. Sucre is a college town for the most part and has some wonderful whit washed buildings and many of the trapping of a college town anywhere on earth, like many coffee houses, hip bars, good art scene and of course torch wielding protesters who march on city hall and are surrounded by riot police.

Their main complaint is that the seat of the government is in LaPaz and they want it to be moved back to Sucre and I personally can think of no better enticement than throwing flaming torches at city hall.
If government were that girl that wouldn't go out with you in high school and you were a rioting mob, than throwing torches is the equivalent to sobbing and blubbering out "but I really love you, why don't you like me?". It's all going to end in heart ache for Sucre believe me you.
Anyhoo, that is it for now next time I think might be the mines that we went into in Potosi but Halloween is coming up here so it might be a Scarry update. take care until next time.
