LA PAZ, BOLIVIA
Well after a 3 hour bus ride bordering beautiful Lake Titticaca and a 15 minute ferry ride across the lake, we arrived in the de facto capital of Bolivia, La Paz. We stayed at the only hostel-brewery in the world, Adventure Brew Hostel. La Paz is an awesome city siting at 12,000 ft above sea level, and you can certainly feel the altitude after a couple of beers at the hostel. We spent two nights in the city, walking around the witches market, sightseeing, and buying cheap food. One day Amanda didn´t feel so well (a cold), so Cory went to the witches market and bought a vile of some eucaliptus, and it cleared her right up. On the third day we caught a bus (14hours) to the old colonial capital of Sucre. Adios La Paz!

SUCRE, BOLIVIA
Sucre reminded us lot of Cusco, Peru, a former clonial capital of a country replaced by a new more modern capital city. It has a main tree-lined square surrounded by churches and beautiful colonial buildings. We stayed at nice hostel where we met some cool people, a Swede, an Italian, and some Georgia boys. We walked around Sucre´s great outdoor market, booked our trip to the Salt Flats, and had a chance play walleyball (like volleyball but indoors using walls). After two nights in Sucre, we headed to Uyni to embark on our 3day/2night tour of the largest salt flat in the world!
