A ridiculous day of traveling

Here's how it went:

Woke up at five at Lago Colorado in southern bolivia, and spent the day in the jeep driving to a few places, and then back to Uyuni, the major city in the north. We got back at seven at night- except for stopping for lunch, we spent the entire time in the Jeep. Went and got some dinner in Uyuni, then took a nap until 1, where we took the Wara Wara Del Sur, an 8 hour train that went to Oruro. Got in there at nine in the mornin, grabbed a bite to eat, wrote a blog entry, then took a three hour bus to La Paz, all the way in the northish of Bolivia. Got here at around. All in all, it was a 36 hour travel timespan. Craziness!

I'm currently staying in a hostal in La Paz called "adventure brew Hostal" or something along those lines. Its got all you can eat pancakes in the morning, free internet, clean beds (of course), and a free home brewed beer everyday. I think theres also a bar in the Hostal, but i've yet to look for it. All for six dollars a night.

Tomorrow we're going to be touring about La Paz, possibly getting a friend of Bri's to show us around. Its a pretty interesting city, snuggled up in a valley. And its at 11000 feet, give or take 200 feet. If I hadn't already spent four days at this altitude, that'd be an issue, but really startin to get along quite nice with it.

Ok, gotta run and eat!
