La Paz is for Lovers!

Aaron and La Paz: a deadly mix.

From a distance, a football field. Oh yeah, the city of La Paz.

The faces of Tihuanacan priests. According to our guide, the faces were made to look like they had coca in their mouths.

The ruins of Tihaunacu, a pre-Incan civilazation over 5 thousand years old. Here they held religious ceremonies, burned stuff, even had a few parties I bet.

Anisa, Aaron, and Richard in front of the Puerta del Sol, a symbol of the country.

Craziness in the town of Tihuanacu. Traffic was wild there.

The side of a Tihuanacan Sun God statue. The spanish tried to decapitate it, but since they couldn't they put the mark of the anti-christ on it (it is the "t" marking on the shoulder).

Moon Valley, where apparently there used to be ocean. Why don't they call it Ocean Valley?

Richard, Anisa, and Aaron on the way to Copacabana.

A shot of Copacabana located on Lake Titicaca.

Isla del Sol, a place I wouldn't mind retiring to. From the island you can see beginning of the Andes Mountains. It really feels like the ocean out there.

Here are some pictures taken from my trip to La Paz. It is the highest capitol in the world, something one is quickly reminded of when they get off the plane and notices the air supply is cut in half. I have a love hate relationship with this part of Bolivia. Although I appreciate the indigenous aspect of this city, a lot of it is really depressing and violent; as if things are going to explode at any second. The part of me that loves it appreciates the beauty of the places around La Paz, such as Copacabana, Lake Titicaca, and Isla del Sol.
