Paul and I took a day trip to a town right outside of La Paz, to visit the Tiwanaku ruins. To be honest, he was much more interested in them then I, but they were still cool. Good day to be there; half of the sky looked like the world was ending, grey and cloudy, and the other half was bright blue... weird!

This was the pyramid of the ruins. Everything was organized around the sun (where it rises and sets).

Paul bought a book in Cusco about the ruins in Perú. It happened to have a chapter about Tiwanako (Bolivia), so he gave me a little archeological knowledge.
