Hola

Been lazy on the old blog recently - last week was fairly quiet in all honesty. Strikes all week in La Paz and huge marches, as in bigger than usual, all the time, meant leaving and even getting around the city was slightly problematic!! Still managed to have a lot of fun :)

Got couple of other articles done and saw another couple of gigs as well as my friend Benjamin´s party on friday which was an absolutle blast!! Definitely didnt end until an early hour. Went quad biking with everyone on Sunday which was a laugh, although I did manage to tip my quad over by turning a bit fast!! The biking was set in the appropriately named ´moon valley´. Incredible scenery and awesome to be racing around on a pretty fast quad!! Went for a tasty, if not massively deyaled, dinner beforehand and wandered around afterwards before headign to Zona Sur in the South Side

Got a few new flatmates which is guuuuuuurd - and more people to contribute to the next months magazine which to my delight has been confirmed to focus on music. With this in mind went to another gig last night - two guys. One on acoustic, one electric playing loads of cool music with various cuban and latin american influences. One dude even had a cowbell on a foot pedal - I mean come on!! So got a couple more reviews to write which I really enjoy doing!

Looks like probably off to TTkos tonight and maybe Lake Titicaca later on during the week. Also hoping to get some more biking done soon as I´ve sorted out an arrangement with a company that I get free trips if I write about the rides - sweet!!

One month down in La Paz already....damn.....

This blog will provide an insight into what I get up to while I'm out here for anyone who would like to know!! I can't guarantee any sort of consistency but I will try ... full info
