Hola Bolivia


el Alto, so dense!

La Paz




i love the buses down there they are so cool!




Bus station, on the way to Santa Cruz(finally). Very long bus ride.
just outside of Santa Cruz...

Cotoca

Sloth!!!
Chicha and more! i found 5 pesos on the floor in Cotoca :)
el mercado de satilite
i have always had a weird fascination for buses..i love riding them :)
this taxi was just weird, but funny
on our way to San Ignacio, im pretty sure this bridge is over el Rio Pirai
we are here! this is my great grandma use to live, we visited when we lived in Bolivia...its not the same but i was so glad we got to go, my mom hadn't been there in years either so we did this for her birthday :) the drive there was beautiful and we stopped at this awesome restaurant along the road.


this is my great grandma's old house, they rebuilt the facade, it used to be adobe.





this is in the back of the restaurant. the outdoor kitchen if you will.
una canchita in the back..very cool (soccer field behind the restaurant)

The menu
the restaurant also had hamacas para una siesta despues de un majadito de charque :D i was the happiest there!
Montero
Artesanias en Montero, i bought a couple of rings of course :)
sunset
another bus trip..this little girl brought this in from the market, when she got off the bus it looked like she had a long walk.
The roof system is pretty cool
