Gosssiping<\/p><\/div>\n

OK, I give! I am enchanted with Bolivia! I have seen only a fraction of the city – much less the country – but oh my goodness. Terrible traffic and narrow streets, but warm, lovely people and gorgeous textiles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I took meds for the altitude before coming, and haven\u2019t had any issues at all with the altitude. Work has been good – the people at the office are delightful.<\/span><\/p>\n

I went on the teleferico this morning to the top, El Alto. They have several lines, like a subway, and the locals use it just as a way to get around. While I was freaking out from the height, everyone else was just looking at their cell phones!<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not so sure about being up so high!<\/p><\/div>\n

Afterward I took a taxi to the San Francisco church where there are a lot of touristy shops. Tucked amongst the tacky shops are some lovely fair-trade stores that carry incredible alpaca wool items…I have to admit I splurged a wee bit, but I think I will enjoy these things for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

My small boutique hotel has been lovely with wonderful service and a spa, which I have taken advantage of. It\u2019s a short walk to the embassy and just lovely.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m off tonight for my next destination – you\u2019ll have to wait to see where that is!<\/span><\/p>\n

My only regret at being in Bolivia this week is that I\u2019m missing my anniversary celebration with my husband of 22 years! And they said it wouldn\u2019t last!!! Happy anniversary!<\/span><\/p>\n
