Travel to Bolivia is not really about cities and that, in my humble opinion, is a good thing for the Bolivian economy. Not that there is really that much wrong with places like Potosi and La Paz.

Our travels over the years have often sought out those places that we haven't yet experienced. We have loved chasing new places, but there is a change underway.

Just looked up your blog!
Hi! Not sure if you remember me - I was part of that group that visited the Jungle in Ecuador. This is the first time I've looked at your blog (unfortunately only the first) and it's amazing! So interesting, it's making me miss S.America. And you guys put so much care and thought into it, it's really lovely. Funnily enough, I just celebrated the indigenous Bolivian New Year! I am in Maputo, Mozambique and am friends with a Bolivian lady who informed me that it, as of yesterday, the year 5518 according to the indigenous Bolivian calender. To celebrate, a big group of her friends rocked out to the beach to watch the sunrise and drink coca tea. It was great. Did you guys see any celebrations? Anyway, I hope you are doing well. Take care, safe travels. Damien

Hello Damien
Great to hear from you. Hope you've recovered from the tree that attacked your head and you're enjoying your time in Mozambique. We didn't see any new year celebrations, probably because we moved into the lowlands (near the Brazilian border) where the Indigenous presence isn't as strong. Looking forward to hearing about your trip. Take care.
