La Paz

Finally made it to La Paz yesterday, there is little signs of the trouble that plagued this city last week. The only incident I saw, was when walking out of one of the many markets in this city, I saw some protestors surrounding a building, which was protected by the riot police, the number of police men outnumbered the number of protestors, anyway I moved away from the place. Strangely my first impression of La Paz is that it is rather quite place (for a capital with more than 1 million inhabitants).

Tonight I am going with Lisa and Rodri, an English couple I met in Peru, to watch a football game between two local teams from La Paz. Tomorrow I am going to do some mountain biking, going down "The world most dangerous road", a 64km stretch of road mostly going down hill.

I got my ipod , it works fine again, and all my music is still there, thanks to "ipod mods", the company that fixed it for me, www.ipodmods.com .

I don´t know if you heard the news, but a powerfull earth quake hit the north of Chile a couple of days ago, causing a lot of devastation and killing 11 people. If my ipod had arrived a few days earlier, that is where I would have been at the time of the earthquake, so I guess I am glad that it so long, and I am glad that things calmed down in Bolivia, both influencing my decision to go to Bolivia instead of the north of Chile.
