Sucre! Capital of Bolivia. Remember KevinAlaska, whom I ran into at the Bolivian border? He's back! I was really happy to have someone from "back home" to share some Bolivian experiences with.

Sucre-Bolivian Pride
Getting into the spirit for Evo's arrival!

Sucre-Besos de Alaska
Lotsa photos of this guy are floating around Bolivia right now. Too bad I didn´t get any of me with the crowd. It was crazy! I felt a bit shy with the sign, but people loved it. No one else had any personal signs. They just don't know how to stand out in a crowd in Bolivia. Too bad no one asked for a beso (kiss).

So many bright colors in the market! And so cheap! Lunch was 3.50 BS, less than fifty cents.
