Hello all,
I´d like to introduce you to my newest friend from Bolivia, I don´t know his name yet, but he lives in my stomach. From what I can deduce, his hobbies include causing pain, prohibiting my eating, halting the functions of my internal organs, and (probably) fondue parties.
It´s been about six days here in La Paz, and three days with my newest amigo. The rule of course, is not to let street food make up the majority of your diet. But the lure is always there, the beckoning call of cheap, cheap, cheap food. Speaking of cheap, a moment to explain.
A four course meal in La Paz routinely wraps up at around 8-10 bolivianos, which is about $1-$1.20. Sweet, terrible street food, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, is about 5 bolivianos, or 70 cents. Our hostel, which is fantastic, is 25 bs a night, and everything just scales around there.
I´ve got lots to tell of the past days in Bolivia, and what´s coming up, but my little friend is calling to me, and so I think I have to go lie down.
Or, we´re climbing a mountain in seven hours. I dunno...
Nick
