6-6 Arrived into La Paz early in the morning. Our bus actually broke down before it made it to the bus station, but it was only 1km short, so no big deal. We dropped off our bags at a hostel and explored La Paz. We walked up to a sweet viewpoint of the city. The city is gorgeous! It sits amongst mountains with the sky scrapers down in a canyon and buildings built up all along the mountain sides. Giant 6000m (20000) plus peaks tower behind the city. And you can often catch glimpses of them between the skyscrapers. But up on the viewpoints, you can see the whole city, its stadium, and the big mountains. The city is colorful and everyone is so amazingly friendly. The people here have been so friendly and both Laura and I agree that this is one of the coolest countries we have been to. We walked the city and enjoyed lots of tasty and cheap streetfood. We also bought tickets to the upcoming Boliva vs Paraguay futball match which is part of the south america olympic qualifying cup. I also talked with some tour organizers to set up my climbing and trekking trips.
