Sucre




Im loving Bolivia for its cheapness. Last night I had a steak sandwich and fries and about 8 cocktails and it came to less than 15 euros. Im hating Bolivia for the fact that it takes about an hour for the food to be served and the drinks come about 25 mins after they have been ordered. Weve even seen some places send the children out to the shop after we have ordered to buy the necessary ingredients. Oh, and even though it is getting warmer as I go north, Im still wearing jumpers every day. Ive only worn my flipflops in the shower.

We nearly got kicked out of our hostel this morning for making so much noise coming in last night. Personally not guilty. They were the ones making all the noise. I was only the referee for the wrestling.

Today we went to see some real dinosaur footprints. Im a little cynical. Looked to me like they were conveniently discovered a few years ago to help tourism in the area, but apparantly they are really 65 million years old. Our tour bus consisted of us and about 40 geriatrics. We stopped at the nursing home on the way to pick them up. It took about 30mins to get them all settled on the bus. We actually thought we were on Bolivian Candid Camera or something. Thank god they didn´t speak English. The jokes were coming hard and fast from the boys.
